We often get blinded by the forms in which content is produced, rather than the job that the content does.

I think that Microsoft will increasingly feel margin pressure from Linux as well as people saying: well actually the applications that really matter to me are not on my PC. And so they're going to be able to extract less of a monopoly rent, so to speak.

I think that companies always become complacent, over time. Or most companies, that is.

Pursue something so important that even if you fail, the world is better off with you having tried.

Just do something that lights you up, and lights up your customers, and lights up the world and scale to that.

The Lean Startup isn't just about how to create a more successful entrepreneurial business, it's about what we can learn from those businesses to improve virtually everything we do. I imagine Lean Startup principles applied to government programs, to healthcare, and to solving the world's great problems. It's ultimately an answer to the question: How can we learn more quickly what works, and discard what doesn't?

Being too early is indistinguishable from being wrong.
