I believe in strength over lack of weakness.

A key thing in being a leader is you’ve got to pause yourself.

Mark [Andressen] was more popular than me at the time ... He was like Beyoncé, I was Kelly Rowlings

The thing that's confusing for investors is that founders don't know how to be CEO. I didn't know how to do the job when I was a CEO. Founder CEOs don't know how to be CEOs, but it doesn't mean they can't learn. The question is... can the founder learn that job and can they tolerate all mistakes they will make doing it?

As companies move to web-based computing they get a lot more servers, which are difficult to manage and control. All kinds of problems can arise - security, quality and worms.

A CEO needs great intelligence and great courage. And I always found my courage was tested more.

Hire sales people who are really smart problem solvers, but lack courage, hunger and competitiveness, and your company will go out of business.
