My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

Sage advice from Steve Jobs:

“A lot of people ask me: I want to start a company. What should I do?

My first question is always, "What is your passion? What is it you want to do in your company?"

Most of them say, "I don't know."

My advice is go get a job as a busboy until you figure it out.

You've got to be passionate about something.

You shouldn't start a company because you want to start a company.

Almost every company I know of got started because nobody else believed in the idea and the last resort was to start the company.

That's how Apple got started.

That's how Pixar got started. It's how Intel got started.

You need to have passion about your idea and you need to feel so strongly about it that you're willing to risk a lot.

Starting a company is so hard that if you're not passionate about it, you will give up. If you're simply doing it because you want to have a company, forget it.

It's so much work and at times is so mentally draining.

The hardest thing I've ever done is to start a company.

It's the funnest thing, but it's the hardest thing, and if you're not passionate about your goal or your reason for doing it, you will give up.

You will not see it through. So, you must have a very strong sense of what you want.

You have to need to run such a business and know you can do it better than anyone else.”

Maybe he didn’t think, “I’m going to the moon.”

Maybe he just felt, in that moment, that his dream was possible.

The power of the fortune cookie.

The decisions we agonized over for weeks were never better than the ones we made in the room. Act in the momentum and correct as you go.

Fortune cookies are one of the only things people open hoping a random piece of paper will somehow understand their life. 🥠
