Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.

You become the average of the five people you hang out with.

You have to adopt a mindset that says, 'Okay, in three months, I'll need to know all this stuff, and then in six months there's going to be a whole other set of things to know - again in a year, in five years.' The tools will change, the knowledge will change, the worries will change.

You can’t focus on what everyone else is doing — it has to be about what’s really broken and what you can do to fix it.

The happiest and most successful people I know don't just love what they do, they're obsessed with solving an important problem, something that matters to them.

A lot of times it's an asset to not know everything about everything... A lot of really great, innovative things have happened when people just didn't know it wasn't supposed to be possible.

You're not going to become a great manager overnight. You're not going to become a great public speaker or figure out how to raise money. These are the things you want to start the clock on as early as possible.
