“If you work on something for five years, that’s more than 20 percent of your productive work life. Most people don’t think about that, but it’s the main thing I think about. I think about it all the time, much more than money. Because the only thing we can’t make more of is time.”

allisonweiss:

I hate how the Vista advertisements rave about how parents can limit their kids’ time spent on the internet. One parent says, “…because sometimes I catch them up at 2:00 in the morning still surfing the web.”

I attribute 100% of my web and graphic design skills to the fact that I spent an insane amount of time on the computer in my youth. I wasn’t playing. I was learning.

“Entrepreneurs don’t need degrees like lawyers and doctors do. They are credentialed by virtue of their track record. The first startup is hard but if they make that one work, they end up with something much better than a college degree. They have a notch in their belt. They’ve got a track record of success. Even if the first one is a failure, I’d say that they’ve got something more than a degree.”

“Twitter spam. Really? Are you even paying attention? I’ll say it again, you choose who you follow. If you’re following a newsbot, you’re going to get news spam. If you follow a good friend who can’t stop RTing, you’re going to to get retweet spam, but complaining about it is like standing the middle of a freeway asking, “Why do these cars keep hitting me?””
