The internet tends to make smart people smarter and dumb people dumber.

I really focused on three things in high school - my company, basketball and my school work.

I have a broad range of interests, so I'll always be working on something.

Long-term goals are dangerous. They limit you. They hinder you from reacting to new conditions.

I've always loved to write, and I kept a diary of what I thought about my business, being an entrepreneur and other things of interest to me.

Expose yourself to as much randomness as possible.

Talk to people no one else is talking to. Who would have thought that giving a speech at a funeral at age 12 would introduce me to a man who would introduce me to my first business contact who would introduce me to several other important people in my life. That's luck. That's randomness.
