Let yourself be enchanted in small ways.

High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. People without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.

I'm a lousy predictor of the future.

You really can't spend money on social media unless you really try. Social media is really more about effort than expense.

You need to save some mental, physical, and emotional resources for enhancing your product after you ship. A revolution is a triathlon, not a hundred-yard dash-it requires long distance stamina and multiple skills such as creating, churning, and evangelizing.

Try stuff. I also used to believe that it's better to be smart than lucky because if you're smart you can out-think the competition. I don't believe that anymore-this is not to say that you should strive for a high level of stupidity. My point is that luck is a big part of many successes, so (a) don't get too bummed out when you see a bozo succeed; and (b) luck favors the people who try stuff, not simply think and analyze. As the Chinese say, "One must wait for a long time with your mouth open before a Peking duck flies in your mouth."

Money is not the sole or most powerful motivation for many people. A higher and tougher test is to look back and see how you've made the world a better place.
