We don't celebrate failure in Silicon Valley. We celebrate learning

Success...is no longer a simple ascension of steps. You need to climb sideways and sometimes down, and sometimes you need to swing from the jungle gym and establish your own turf somewhere else on the playground.

Silicon Valley tends to believe in the individual who creates a small group and does something big.

Your network is the people who want to help you, and you want to help them, and that's really powerful.
