“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”

“You've already decided what you're going to do, and all that's left is to set the wheels in motion. I mean, it's your life. Basically, you gotta go with what you think is right.”

“You don't want to peak in high school. If you do, the rest of your life is a disaster.”

“Is what you're about to do more likely to expand or limit your ability to get what you really want? Executive intelligence.”

“You've got to be willing to read other people's code, and then write your own, then have other people review your code. You've got to want to be in this incredible feedback loop where you get the world-class people to tell you what you're doing wrong…”

When you're willing to fight
For what you think is real,
For what you think is right.”

“Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.”
