Additional quotes by Peter Diamandis
While a 10x improvement is gargantuan, Teller has very specific reasons for aiming exactly that high. "You assume that going 10x bigger is going to be ten times harder," he continues, "but often it's literally easier to go bigger. Why should that be? It doesn't feel intuitively right. But if you choose to make something 10 percent better, you are almost by definition signing up for the status quo — and trying to make it a little bit better. That means you start from the status quo, with all its existing assumptions, locked into the tools, technologies, and processes that you're going to try to slightly improve."

In Uganda, urban workers are 60 percent more productive than rural ones. Shenzhen’s GDP, meanwhile, is three times larger than the rest of China.
