Sayings
"Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment of failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"Being the richest man in the cemetry doesn't matter to me...Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful...that's what matters to me."
"We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We're creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing. That's how you have to think of this."
"My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and total was greater than the sum of parts. That's how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people."
"No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one ever escaped it. And that is as it should be. Because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new."
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living somebody else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."
"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
"Older people sit down and ask, 'what is it?' but the boy asks, 'what can I do with it?' "
"If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you are about to do today?"
"The only way to do great work is to love
