La ambigüedad entre las metas sociales y económicas no ayuda. Pero la ambigüedad en el mundo «social» es un problema mayor aun: si algo es «socialmente bueno» ¿es bueno para la
sociedad o simplemente es visto como algo bueno por la sociedad? Cualquier cosa lo
suficientemente buena para recibir el aplauso de todas las audiencias sólo puede ser convencional, como la idea general de la energía verde.
El progreso no se detiene por la diferencia que pueda existir entre la avaricia corporativa y la
bonhomía de las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro; en cambio, nosotros sí estamos limitados por la similitud de ambos. Igual que las corporaciones tienden a copiarse unas a otras, las organizaciones suelen tener las mismas prioridades. La tecnología limpia pone de manifiesto el resultado: cientos de productos indiferenciados, creados todos en nombre de un objetivo demasiado amplio.
Hacer algo diferente es lo realmente bueno para la sociedad, y es también lo que permite que un negocio consiga beneficios a través de la monopolización de un mercado. Los mejores proyectos suelen pasarse por alto, no son pregonados a los cuatro vientos por la multitud; los mejores problemas sobre los que trabajar suelen ser aquellos que nadie más intenta resolver.

Stanford Law School, where I competed even harder for the standard badges of success. The highest prize in a law student’s world is unambiguous: out of tens of thousands of graduates each year, only a few dozen get a Supreme Court clerkship. After clerking on a federal appeals court for a year, I was invited to interview for clerkships with Justices Kennedy and Scalia. My meetings with the Justices went well. I was so close to winning this last competition. If only I got the clerkship, I thought, I would be set for life. But I didn’t. At the time, I was devastated. In 2004, after I had built and sold PayPal, I ran into an old friend from law school who had helped me prepare my failed clerkship applications. We hadn’t spoken in nearly a decade. His first question wasn’t “How are you doing?” or “Can you believe it’s been so long?” Instead, he grinned and asked: “So, Peter, aren’t you glad you didn’t get that clerkship?” With the benefit of hindsight, we both knew that winning that ultimate competition would have changed my

It’s much better to be the last mover — that is, to make the last great development in a specific market and enjoy years or even decades of monopoly profits. The way to do that is to dominate a small niche and scale up from there, toward your ambitious long-term vision.
