Life’s Just Too Short to Worry About Rejection

Any leader takes people to impossible places. And that very act is a very dangerous act because you’ll scare the status quo and people who are clinging to the safe harbor of the known. And that’s why the job of a great woman or a great man is to take people to a Mount Everest they never thought they could go to, but understand that you’re going to be criticized. And if you do something really powerful, like put out a really powerful piece of work, or piece of code or book or whatever it is, you’re going to have extreme reactions on either side. And if it’s really innovative, you’re going to scare people.
