QUOTES

There is not one path to greatness. There's many.

Trust is this notion that you'll keep doing actions that will ladder up over time. It really compounds. But you're going to add maybe 1% of trust for each positive interaction, but it takes one interaction that's bad to ruin all of it.

Even building a company, it feels the same. You're calculating the moves... It's like a tree search, where you're exploring the different options in the decision tree, and you're trying to figure out how to lead to victory. That's the only thing I do in my life.

I'm really interested in inventions, how they happened, who did them, what personalities were behind them. They're inspiring stories.

You don't delegate. You hire great people. You help them in doing it. If they do it better than you, then you can back off.

Nothing ever happens unless someone pursues a vision fanatically.
