You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress ...

It doesn't matter how bad things are, something good could happen always. And it doesn't matter how many excuses you have for behaving in an unkind manner towards others.

It sounds like a very noble, ethereal, simplistic idea but it's true.

Success in Silicon Valley, most would agree, is more merit-driven than almost any other place in the world. It doesn't matter how old you are, what sex you are, what politics you support or what color you are. If your idea rocks and you can execute, you can change the world and/or get really, stinking rich.
