Democracy Tends To Be A Collaborative Process,

My Greatest Influences Are Actually Probably A Set Of Different Teachers. And These Teachers, Most Prominently At My High School, But Also A Few Others, Helped Kind Of Instill In Me, Thinking Thoughts About How Life Is Meaningful In Terms Of How We All Kind Of Live In A Network Of People And How You Interact With Those People Is Part Of What Makes Life Essentially Meaningful And Then Kind Of Concepts To Think About, How Do You Add Value To Other People's Lives? How Do They Add Value To Yours? And How Do You Kind Of Form A Community Together In The Network?

What Makes The Meaning Of Life Is People, So You Try To Be Good To People Immediately Around You And In Your Broader Community. So A Lot Of My Projects Are About How I Can Affect The World In The Hundreds Of Millions.

If You Don't Start Out Aiming For The Big Game, You Almost Never Can Get There.

You Remake Yourself As You Grow And As The World Changes. Your Identity Doesn’t Get Found. It Emerges.

Probably The Biggest Mistake That I Made Personally Is I Knew Early On That I Wanted To Go Into Start-ups And Creating Kind Of Software That Could Help Change The Lives Of Millions Of People. And Basically What I Did Is I Kind Of Went, Okay, Well, I Need A Set Of Titles And I Need A Checklist Of Skills, And I Ran Through All That, And That Wasn't A Useless Thing, But What I Didn't Realize, And, You Know, And No One Gave Me The Right Advice For Doing This, Is That Actually Your Network, In Essentially, Is Your Career.
