When I look out from my own business career, I tried to learn from some of the best people, regardless of the industry.

Most of all, I discovered that in order to succeed with a product, you must truly get to know your customers and build something for them.

In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved.

You must always be able to predict what's next and then have the flexibility to evolve.

The real joy in life comes from giving. It comes from service. It comes from doing things for other people. That is what is so powerful about this. Nothing will make you happier than giving.

You never want to be completely alone at what you do. Competition is good for everyone.

Although I loved working on technology - I've always been a computer geek at heart - my professors encouraged me to get a real-world job working with customers.
