strong opinions aren’t free

“If no one’s upset by what you’re saying, you’re probably not pushing hard enough.”
– Rework by Justin Fried of 37signals
FULL QUOTE: Strong opinions aren’t free. You’ll turn some people off. They’ll accuse you of being arrogant and aloof. That’s life. For everyone that loves you, there will be others who hate you. If no one’s upset by what you’re saying, you’re probably not pushing hard enough. (And you’re probably boring, too.)

Good stuff, Brian, and reminds me of this wonderfully fitting quote by Dr. Suess: “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
