It occurred to me that building a company was the best way to align a group of people towards building something great. And its really... it's a good organizational structure where you can really reward people.

Our subjective judgment of what seems like a good bet is irrelevant to what is actually a good bet.
Anytime you make a bet with the best of it, where the odds are in your favor, you have earned something on that bet, whether you actually win or lose the bet.

Yes, I love making a beautiful, well-crafted drawing, but I love it only because of the amount of information a precise drawing provides
