In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.

The most successful givers aren’t doing it because they’re being told to. They do it because doing it is fun. It gives them joy.

You're competing against people in a state of flow, people who are truly committed, people who care deeply about the outcome.

Once you have permission to talk to someone, finding new products or services for them is a smart way to grow.

And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.

Mostly, the best way to be the next Mark Zuckerberg is to make difficult choices.

If you're not willing to face the abyss of choice, you will almost certainly not spend enough time dancing with opportunity.
