This from Jim Carey is excellent too and carries the same message You can still fail doing what you don’t want to do, so you might as well go for what you want

Love that advice. If you're going to fail, make sure it's doing what you want. Fail at your self-directed goals. Don't fail at goals that others prescribe for you.

Great piece of advice and makes me think about how that relates to the tug and pull of leadership. Making something yours, but also knowing you can't do it alone.

@paulg Remember: it’s okay to fail at something you love. It’s all part of the journey towards mastering it. Embrace the process and keep pushing forward!

Yup, that "what if" hurts more if you hadn't tried

Expect failure but do everything you can to avoid it.

Jerry Seinfeld is one of the rare greats who loves to talk about his process. After watching hours of his interviews, I collected the best bits about writing into a 17-minute video. Some highlights: 1) No such thing as writer's block. There's laziness, there's fear, there's distraction, there's a lack of skill. But there's no such thing as writer's block. 2) Tim Ferriss once asked Seinfeld what message he'd put on a billboard for other creatives to see. It'd say: "Just work." 3) "Get good at something. That’s it. Everything else is bullshit.” 4) "Make sure you fail doing exactly what you want to do. That, you can live with.“ — Dave Letterman's advice to him. 5) Embrace the difficulty of writing. Yes, it's hard. What's your point? Either you want it or you don’t, but if you’re expecting it to be easy to write something great, drop the pen, walk away from the keyboard and do something else. You don’t want it bad enough.

Jerry Seinfeld gives you excellent advice — without actually giving you any advice. Very Jerry. (This is also why you should stop responding to comments from keffiyehs.)

Jerry Seinfeld says he regrets claiming the extreme left suppressed comedy. Jerry Seinfeld: I did an interview with The New Yorker. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: And I said that the extreme left has suppressed the art of comedy. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: I did say that. Tom Papa: Yeah. Jerry Seinfeld: That’s not true. (laughs) It’s not true. Tom Papa: No? Jerry Seinfeld: No. Again, you want to go back. Let’s go back to our solid, liquid analogy. Tom Papa: Okay. Jerry Seinfeld: And the other thing that I have said about this: if you’re Lindsey Vonn, if you’re a champion skier… Tom Papa: Uh-huh. Jerry Seinfeld: …you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain. She’s going to make the gate. Tom Papa: Right. Jerry Seinfeld: That’s comedy. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: You don’t make the gate, you’re out of business. That’s your job. You make the gate. The culture moves. People are different. They react differently. Your job is to make the gate. If you can’t make the gate, get another job. That’s what I think. That’s how I feel about it now.

Do you think it’s normal to joke about pancakes being the same consistency as “young human flesh” Bc Jerry Seinfeld and Jimmy Fallon sure thought that was hilarious!

โดนเส้น 😂😂 Q: Since both of you have very good figures, how do you manage to stop yourself from eating when there’re yummy food that you want to eat? CL: You can eat as much as you want but you have to exercise too. You don’t have to do it excessively but make sure that you do it regularly until your muscles remember. EF: I think you can have some days that you eat a lot and some that you eat less so that there’s a balance. Q: So that’s what you really do? Arranging days? EF: Actually, it’s not what I really do. 😂😂 😂I just want to be a good example so I said it like that. CL: It’s like giving some advice. #อิงล็อต #englot #อิงฟ้ามหาชน #ชาล็อตออสติน

A reminder that your boundaries are allowed to shift and change overtime but what is out there is always out there. Be careful what you do and make sure you know who you are before you do it. #contentcreators #advice #onlyfriendswithjen
