- Don’t wait for permission to build your ideas.
- Maintain optimism about present opportunities and the future.
- Be a polymath, not just a specialist.
- Think independently and avoid conformity.
- Being in the minority can be more impressive.
- Define technology as doing more with less.
- Embrace contrarian thinking.
- Focus on long-term ideas.
- Avoid competing; focus on building what you believe in.
