Don't aim at success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.

Then you will live to see that in the long run — in the long run, I say — success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.

The same products, services or technologies can fail or succeed depending on the business model you choose. Exploring the possibilities is critical to finding a successful business model.

Dude, what matters is if you're happy. What matters is your future. What matters is that we get out of here in one piece. What matters is finding the truth of our own lives, not caring about what other people think is the truth of us.
