Near-death experiences give you balance. You become more worldly. Your ideas become bigger.
For three or four decades, we've been sitting here in front of this TV consuming a one-way medium that we had no control over.
People like rich applications on their desktop, and there is no reason why you can't have both a rich desktop and a light, cloud-based application framework. Why is it always either/or for people?
I only take causes or write about things that I am passionate about, and I do it with a certain flair and a sort of wink and a nod.
That's one of the things I love about entrepreneurship is that if you see something that you don't like - and if you think you have a better idea - you can pursue your model.
Imagine being 30 years old, thinking you were a media titan, and now you are labeled a 'scam artist.'
If you are delusional, sometimes the reality catches up with your delusion, and then all of a sudden you are a genius.
Art is an adventure that never seems to end.
If everybody has a voice, then you end up with something average.
I've developed some deep relationships over the past couple of years blogging and I realize that those relationships manifest themselves in the links I find when I do my x a daily ego search over at Technorati.
The currency of blogging is authenticity and trust... you pay folks to blog about a product and you compromise that. I would almost care about this, but it's so obvious to everyone that this is either a joke or an idiot that there is nothing more to say.
Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective; this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God. We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend. I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple; so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens.
Average people push great people out of a company.
Be amazing. Be everywhere. Be real
