Freedom lies in being bold - Robert Frost

Zero to one book

Palantir data mining company

Question your assumptions

Capitalism & competition are antonyms

There is no need to wait to start business, you can start doing it without any credentials

Be relentless at your efforts

Trend attracts lots of people which causes competition & no differentiation, you do not want to be the next soc. network company

Avoid trends, instead work on unique mission/problem

Investors spray & pray - portfolio management, betting on companies as lotteries

Think for yourself, break through convention

Universities are like studio 54, exclusive clubs
