Games are all about taking risks.

Honesty is about the scars. Its about the blemishes. But its more than just bragging about failure, which could be a form of ego. Its about truly helping people.

The idea that we need to “pay our dues” is a lie told to us by people who wanted our efforts and labor on the cheap.

Your bosses simply hate you. You created more and more value. They paid you less and less. That's the definition of disdain in my book.

Your hands are not made to type out memos. Or put paper through fax machines. Or hold a phone up while you talk to people you dislike. 100 years from now your hands will rot like dust in your grave. You have to make wonderful use of those hands now. Kiss your hands so they can make magic.

Every successful business, even Google, Facebook, Twitter, started with a combination of manual improvements and friends of the founders using the site.
