Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.
It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?
And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Steve Jobs told a graduating class at Stanford
Something big. Something that couldn’t happen anywhere else.
Welcome to Apple.
“I hate it when people call themselves ‘entrepreneurs’ when what they’re really trying to do is launch a startup and then sell of go public, so they can cash in and move on. They’re unwilling to do the work it takes to build a real company, which is the hardest work in business.”
