people
Really, having people who have different mental perspectives is what's important.

Really great entrepreneurs have this very special mix of unstoppable optimism and scathing paranoia.

People text when they're meant to actually be driving. So imagine what they do when they think the car's got it under control.
bad carrying death engage interface life millions monitor people though user
Every day, hundreds of millions of people stab themselves, bleed, and then offer, like a sacrifice, to the glucose monitor they're carrying with them. It's such a bad user interface that even though in the medium-term it's life or death for these people, hundreds of millions of people don't engage in this user interface.

Use creativity and storytelling as your main muscle instead of smartness.

We made eye contact, I kind of pointed up and he saw me streaking down the sideline, so he threw up there. It was nice. It was pretty sweet.

VisiCalc and WordPerfect were the killer apps of their day, but Google and Facebook make them look small in comparison.
came cause cost deal flat slow start
We came out really flat in the first quarter, I don't know what the deal was. We weren't making our shots, not doing anything right on offense. Even defensively we didn't play our game. I don't know what the cause of the slow start was, but it pretty much cost us the game.
