  • If we produced high quality work, they would tell other people about it. That became and continues to be one of the driving forces behind our work.
  • But if you simply follow in the footsteps of people before, at best you’ll become a pale imitation, at works completely ignored.
  • The one thing that hasn’t changed is that people want quality. Quality rises to the top and stands the test of time.And you don’t create quality by copying what you’ve seen work.

  • You have to develop a tremendous tolerance for uncertainty, overcome self doubt, and do the best work of your life. And you have to do it every single day.
  • People who are willing to stay with something so far past when the average person would quit believe at their core “something big will come from all of this.”
  • I figured if he could visit all 50 states, work one-on-one with 500 people and start a business in an industry he knew nothing about, using nothing but ten dollars and a laptop than he must be the most resourceful person I know.

  • Resisting the urge to pull out your phone in class is quite difficult for many students, apparently.

But two students at California State University at Chico have created something they hope will persuade students to keep their phones tucked firmly in their pockets: An app that rewards them with coupons for local businesses when they exhibit self-control and leave their phones untouched during class.

    "A new grant program, announced on Thursday, takes aim at ugly-duckling research projects that have a big upside but are too nascent or implausible to win the attentions of federal grantmakers or venture capitalists. Amazon will provide $2 million initially for the grants, and the director of the program will be an Amazon employee, according to a legal agreement signed last spring. Individual grants will be worth anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000, said Vikram Jandhyala, the university's vice provost for innovation. The barriers for entry are purposefully low. There is no fixed application window. Anybody who works for the university, attends courses there, or is otherwise affiliated with the University of Washington is eligible to apply. The online application form asks for basic information and then a series of questions, beginning with: What's the problem, what's the solution, who will benefit, and why is now the right time to do it? The company is encouraging students and scholars of all stripes to apply, not just techies. "
