Seinfeld: "If you’re doing it for you, you’ll have problems"

Some 🎯 quotes from Jerry Seinfeld.

Below are some good quotes from Jerry Seinfeld’s 12 unconventional rules for doing your best work.

Do it for them:

“If you’re doing it for them you’ll be fine. If you’re doing it for you, you’ll have problems. They’ll know it, feel it, and they won’t like it. When you’re making people laugh you feel like you’ve done a nice thing. You come off feeling much more like you gave something than if you got something.”

Find the torture you’re comfortable with:

“Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you’re comfortable with. That’s marriage, it’s kids, its work, its exercise. Find the torture you’re comfortable with and you’ll do well. It’s no different than when you’re 30 minutes into a workout. You’re okay. You don’t wanna wake up early, you don’t wanna get dressed, you don’t want to go to work, but once you’re there, it’s okay. Once you get going, it’s fine. That’s life. You master that and you’ve mastered life.”

Dedicate yourself:

“I realized construction workers don’t want to go back to work after lunch. But they’re going. That’s their job. If they can exhibit that level of dedication for that job I should be able to do the same.”
