"Now, most people hate to admit they're wrong, but it didn't bother Bill one bit. All he cared about was what was right, not who was right. That's what makes Bill very, very dangerous."

Feedback from other people is fake. Awards are fake. Critics are fake.
Real feedback comes from free markets and nature.

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it.
If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

Optimism is an important trait for so many things in life.
A great career, A great company, or even a great relationship.

Be optimistic.
