Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
#2
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
#3
I'm
a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound
effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they
can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.
#4
Information
technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't
think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about
the other.
#5
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
#6
I
think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most
empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication,
they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.
#7
I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
#8
If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

People
always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented,
didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines...
There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with
time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

The
first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation
applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The
second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will
magnify the inefficiency.
