"I don’t believe in specific goals. Scott Adams famously said, Set up systems, not goals.' Use your judgment to figure out what kinds of environments you can thrive in, and then create an environment around you so you’re statistically likely to succeed." 

Archaeologists guess the Pyramids of Giza to be about ~4,600 years old as Carbon-14 can’t be used to estimate their age. An ostrich egg found in a tomb near Aswan shows the 3 Pyramid structures side by side. Carbon dating show it is ~7,000 years old. An interesting quagmire.

"One advantage of getting older - you become more decisive."

Imagine being on the wrong side of history while it repeats itself. Like failing an open-book test.

“Startups don't die when they run out of cash, they die when the founders run out of energy."

"Trade money for time, not time for money. You’re going to run out of time first."
