How you do anything is how you do everything. Your "character" or "nature" just refers to how you handle all the day-to-day things in life, no matter how small.

The creative person basically has two kinds of jobs: One is the sexy, creative kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills. Sometimes the task at hand covers both bases, but not often.

I realized why I need to start a new company. Not for the money. Not because I'm 'bored'. But because a company is a laboratory to try your ideas.

Make every decision—even decisions about whether to expand the business, raise money, or promote someone—according to what's best for your customers.

Most people don't know what they're talking about. They move their mouth and say things because they don't want to admit they don't know.

Assume they're a fool and find out the truth for yourself.

Ideas are just a multiplier of execution.
