I prefer to have a great time and to keep my wits about me.

If you're hurt, lick your wounds and get up again. If you've given it your absolute best, it's time to move forward.

All you have in life is your reputation: you may be very rich, but if you lose your good name, then you'll never be happy. The thought will always lurk at the back of your mind that people don't trust you.

The important thing is that you've got a strong foundation before you start to try to save the world or help other people.

Entrepreneurship is about turning what excites you in life into capital, so that you can do more of it and move forward with it.
