Somewhere along the way, we forgot to teach young people the basic principles of simplicity and clarity. - Daniel Goldin

The gap between “hard” and “easy” is just experience. The only way to make something easier is to push through until it is.

A little secret about achieving really difficult things is that oftentimes it's not a technology challenge but an execution challenge.

“If I had known how hard it would be, I wouldn’t have started.”

And then blind optimism is the savior.

No, in the business of hard things.

We know how hard it will be.

We know we have no savior.

And we do it anyway.
