Nobody is an overnight success. Most overnight successes you see have been working at it for ten years.

Before you know it, you're half-way done with your idea and you've accidentally learned how to do it too. In short, you start with little bit of something real and make it tick. Then you make it tock.

Planning is not just guessing, it is harmful guessing, because it is a waste of time. All the time you spend doing your five year plan you can use to worry about tomorrow.

Fear is ugly because it makes you irrational. Fear makes you jump to conclusions. Fear makes you reactionary.

Most software has a tiny essence that justifies its existence, everything after that is wants and desires mistaken for needs and necessities.

You're better off with a kick-ass half than a half-assed whole.
