My downtime tends to resemble my uptime. Weekends are workdays, but toned down. Over the whole weekend, I may have five meetings, as opposed to six on a weekday. I used to play piano for 30 minutes at night, but I had to pull that out of my schedule. I don't have time for nonwork stuff.

When you're doing something you're passionate about, stress becomes a featurenot a bug.

In a user lead model, users are bringing in their own technology... and you can build software then, around the user.

Execute like there's no tomorrow, strategize like there will be.

All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it was too expensive, too unusable, and we didn't have the enabling technologies to make it possible.

Look for new enabling technologies that create a wide gap between how things have been done and how they can be done.

If you're waiting for encouragement from others, you're doing it wrong. By the time people think an idea is good, it's probably too late.
