I'm a lousy predictor of the future.

If you look at my Twitter feed it is 99% links, but 1% is me responding and 1% of a big number is a big number.

If you make money, you might not make meaning.

Leverage your brand. You shouldn't let two guys in a garage eat your shorts.

Not many people agree with what I do.

Simple and to the point is always the best way to get your point across.

Social media allows me to pick my times for social interaction.

The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.

What you learn in school is the opposite of what happens in the real world. In school, you're always worried about minimums. You have to reach 20 pages or you have to have so many slides or whatever. Then you get out in the real world and you think, 'I have to have a minimum of 20 pages and 50 slides.'

You know, if you're Guy Kawasaki and you create a car that gets 500 miles a gallon with zero emissions, people on the Internet would say: 'I could have done that in half an hour, and it's been done before. What's the big deal? I expected something more from him.' Meanwhile, they didn't do it, right? They're still living at home with their mothers.
