Be the most optimistic when it seems like the world is ending and be more pessimistic when everyone seems to be too comfortable making money

1. If you have one truly good idea in your life, that is more than enough.


2. To improve your mind, read fiction. We spend the vast majority of our professional lives in pure knowledge-gathering mode; there are different, deeper truths hidden in stories.

Greatness is never achieved by trying to imitate the greatness of another. Greatness is achieved by chipping away at everything that does not belong to you and expressing yourself so authentically that everybody else is forced to acknowledge you.
