That’s just silly. Closing a global business in reaction to single-issue national politics is foolish.

When I was your age, we didn't have the Internet in our pants. We didn't even have the Internet not in our pants. That's how bad it was. I know I sound like my grandfather right now. We didn't have teeth! There were no questions marks, we just had words! What was I talking about? The Internet...Not only can you not plan the impact you're going to have, you often won't recognize it when you're having it.

Twitter is a global town square.

I was in Shanghai recently, where Twitter is blocked, and yet there were ads and billboards across town with hashtags on them.

Don't always worry about what your next line is supposed to be. There is no script. Live your life. Be in this moment.

When youre doing what you love to do, you become resilient. You create a habit of taking chances on yourself. If you do whats expected of you, and things go poorly, you will look to external sources for what to do next, because that will be your habit. You will be standing there frozen. If you are just filling a role, you will be blindsided.

If there's ever an example of the importance of making bold bets and focusing on what you love, it's Twitter.
