The only thing all successful people have in common is that they're successful, so don't waste your time copying "the successful strategies" of others.

All the good things in my career are a direct descendant of what I did and learned at #‎ camp

It's more important that you be passionate about what you do all day than it is to be passionate about the product that is being sold.

You have to find a group that really desperately cares about what it is you have to say. Talk to them. They have something I call otaku. It's a great Japanese word. It describes the desire of someone who's obsessed to, say, drive across Tokyo to try a new Ramen noodle place 'cause that's what they do, they get obsessed with it.

The art of good decision making is looking forward to and celebrating the tradeoffs, not pretending they don't exist.

If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it. And yet our schools are churning out kids who are stuck looking for jobs where the boss tells them exactly what to do.
