I'm always afraid of failing. It's great motivation to work harder.

Because if you're prepared and you know what it takes, it's not a risk. You just have to figure out how to get there. There is always a way to get there.

It's not whether the glass is half empty or half full, it's who is pouring the water. The key in business and success at any endeavor is doing your best to control your destiny. You can't always do it, but you have to take every opportunity you can to be as prepared as-and ahead of-the competition as you possibly can be.

Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is. Know your business and industry better than anyone else in the world. Love what you do or don't do it.

Sweat equity is the best startup capital.

In my opinion, right now there's way too much hype on the technologies and not enough attention to the real businesses behind them.

It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success.
