Eat Like A Bird, Poop

My Theory Is That When You're Young, You Should Work Eighty Hours A Week To Create A Product Or Service That Changes The World.

You Know, If You're Guy Kawasaki And You Create A Car That Gets 500 Miles A Gallon With Zero Emissions, People On The Internet Would Say: 'i Could Have Done That In Half An Hour, And It's Been Done Before. What's The Big Deal? I Expected Something More From Him.' Meanwhile, They Didn't Do It, Right? They're Still Living At Home With Their Mothers.

Skillful Pitching... Is A Necessary, But Not Sufficient, Part Of Raising Capital. More Important Are The Realities Of Your Organization: Are You Building Something Meaningful, Long Lasting, And Valuable To Society?

What I Lack In Talent, I Compensate With My Willingness To Grind It Out.

Try Stuff. I Also Used To Believe That It's Better To Be Smart Than Lucky Because If You're Smart You Can Out-think The Competition. I Don't Believe That Anymore-this Is Not To Say That You Should Strive For A High Level Of Stupidity. My Point Is That Luck Is A Big Part Of Many Successes, So (a) Don't Get Too Bummed Out When You See A Bozo Succeed; And (b) Luck Favors The People Who Try Stuff, Not Simply Think And Analyze. As The Chinese Say, "one Must Wait For A Long Time With Your Mouth Open Before A Peking Duck Flies In Your Mouth."
