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.
