Every game, and almost every life situation, has short cuts: ways you can get better without learning the entire literature of the game from beginning to end.

Everyone is an entrepreneur. The only skills you need to be an entrepreneur: an ability to fail, an ability to have ideas, to sell those ideas, to execute on those ideas, and to be persistent so even as you fail you learn and move onto the next adventure.

Don't time travel into the past, roaming through the nuances as if they can change. Don't bookmark pages you've already read.

Mistakes I've made in the past make me afraid to try new things in the future. I want to be perfect.

I have devoted my life to uncertainty. Certainty is the death of wisdom, thought, creativity.

I've learned a lot in life, travelling, living abroad, just in the school of life.

But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.

Although I'm perceived as very optimistic and upbeat, it comes out of being the opposite of that - feeling isolated or lonely, looking for meaning and the kinds of things that ease that suffering in life, and finding them in large-scale social interaction, like theater and games.
