We can figure it out, it's not like we all have a disease.

Embrace your constraints.

Willingness to take risks is the path to success.

You have to have an emotional investment in what you're doing. If you don't love what you're doing, failure is pretty much guaranteed.

I've probably overused this analogy of a flock of birds moving around an object in flight, but, in reality, it's so simple, real time communication of individuals that allow for this super organism type of organism to happen.

When you think about email or IMing, why aren't you writing back? I can see your avatar, I know you're online, why aren't you writing me back? But with Twitter, everybody sends their responses to Twitter, and Twitter then sends them out to everyone. So there's not this constant connection. You can be hyperconnected, then you can take a break for a couple days and it's fine.
