 Quotable Quotes
• Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll
end up working for one.
• I really had a lot of dreams when I
was a kid, and I think a great deal of
that grew out of the fact that I had a
chance to read a lot.
• If you can't make it good, at least
make it look good.
• Intellectual property has the shelf
life of a banana.
• Life is not fair; get used to it.
• Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces
smart people into thinking they can't
lose.
• The Internet is becoming the town
square for the global village of
tomorrow.
• Television is NOT real life. In real
life people actually have to leave the
coffee shop and go to jobs.
• Life is not divided into terms. You
don’t get summers off and very few
employers are interested in helping
you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on
your own time.
• Flipping burgers is not beneath your
dignity. Your grandparents had a
different word for burger flipping:
they called it opportunity.
• If you mess up, it’s not your parents’
fault, so don’t whine about your
mistakes, learn from them.
