When you hire that first person, then you're a boss. You've got performance reviews. You've got complaints about not making enough money. You've got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

Good ideas have no value because the world already has too many of them. The market rewards execution, not ideas.

This happens to me: I have this great idea and then I make the mistake of telling someone else.

I wish I were dumber so I could be more certain about my opinions. It looks fun.

You're thinking I'm one of those wise-ass California vegetarians who is going to tell you that eating a few strips of bacon is bad for your health. I'm not. I say its a free country and you should be able to kill yourself at any rate you choose, as long as your cold dead body is not blocking my driveway.

There's no such thing as good ideas and bad ideas. There are only your own ideas and other people's. If you want someone to like your idea, tell him he said it first last week and you just remembered it.

When times are bad, the gloves come off and employers are less nice. People become disposable.
