If you treat the future something definite, it makes to understand it in advance and to work to shape it . - Peter Thiel

las altas remuneraciones enseñan a los trabajadores a reclamar el valor existente de la compañía en lugar de invertir su tiempo en crear valor nuevo para el futuro.

Amazon made its first 10x improvement in a particularly visible way: they offered at least 10 times as many books as any other bookstore. When it launched in 1995, Amazon could claim to be “Earth’s largest bookstore” because, unlike a retail bookstore that might stock 100,000 books, Amazon didn’t need to physically store any inventory — it simply requested the title from its supplier whenever a customer made an order. This quantum improvement was so effective that a very unhappy Barnes & Noble filed a lawsuit three days before Amazon’s IPO, claiming that Amazon was unfairly calling itself a “bookstore” when really it was a “book broker.

There’s no reason why the future should happen only at Stanford, or in college, or in Silicon Valley.
