Fantasy, an unflagging optimism is necessary for a writer at all stages of this rough game. A kind of madness is therefore necessary, when there is every logical reason for a state of depression and discouragement. Perhaps the fact that I can react with utter gloom to this is what keeps me from being psychotic and keeps me merely neurotic. I am doing quite a good day's work today. But I am also aware of the madness that actually sustains me, and I am not made more comfortable or happy by it.

Leaders do what is uncomfortable but helpful. They run away from the comfort that doesn't produce any help for the world.

Innovation is the art of creating a better, a more convenient and more comfortable way for the world to pass. Leaders leave footprints everywhere they go. They are impact makers and innovators.

A leader is someone who creates better ways of doing things and better ways are new and comfortable ways.

A leader is a thorn in the flesh of oppressive people. They never feel comfortable when a leader stands up.
