“A goal should scare you a little, and excite you a lot.”

“Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time.”

“The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?”

“If you're trying to be miserable, it's important you don't have any goals. No school goals, personal goals, family goals. Your only objective each day should be to inhale and exhale for sixteen hours before you go to bed again. Don't read anything informative, don't listen to anything useful, don't do anything productive. If you start achieving goals, you might start to feel a sense of excitement, then you might want to set another goal, and then your miserable mornings are through. To maintain your misery, the idea of crossing off your goals should never cross your mind.”

“Learn as if you were not reaching your goal and as though you were scared of missing it”

“You should never start a company with the goal of getting rich. Your goal should be making something you believe in and making a company that will last.”
