The rest of the world isn't nearly as important as the few who are here.

Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.

Viewing the web as a platform for generosity is very different than seeing an opportunity to turn it into an ATM machine.

Soon is not as good as now.

If you love writing or making music or blogging or any sort of performing art, then do it. Do it with everything you've got. Just don't plan on using it as a shortcut to making a living.

When the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.
