When you choose something, you get locked in for a long time. Starting a business may take ten years. You start a relationship that will be five years or maybe more. You move to a city for ten to twenty years. These are very, very long-lived decisions. It’s very, very important we only say yes when we are pretty certain. You’re never going to be absolutely certain, but you’re going to be very certain.

Additional quotes by Naval Ravikant

The best founders I’ve found are the ones who are very long-term thinkers. Even decisions that maybe they shouldn’t care much about early on, they do because they are not building a house, they’re putting bricks in the foundation of the skyscraper, at least in their minds.
