The sad news is, nobody owes you a career. Your career is literally your business. You own it as a sole proprietor. You have one employee: yourself. You need to accept ownership of your career, your skills and the timing of your moves.

I'm a great believer in particularly being alert to changes that change something, anything, by an order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet.

Make mistakes faster.

Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.

Investment decisions and personal decisions don't wait for the picture to be clarified.

Detect and fix any problem in a production process at the lowest stage possible.

There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little.
