“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”

“Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.”

“We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.”

“Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren’t so exciting.”

“Until we’re educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up. there is no shortage of things to do.”

“Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.”

“In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don’t know if there’s a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.”

“People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn’t they?”

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.”
