We have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to all the world's information. This has never before been possible. Why is ubiquitous information so profound? It's a tremendous equalizer. Information is power.

Success is really about being ready for the good opportunities that come before you. It's not to have a detailed plan of everything that you're going to do. You can't plan innovation or inspiration, but you can be ready for it, and when you see it, you can jump on it.

If you forgo your plan, you also have to forgo fear.

In a networked world, trust is the most important currency.

In a world where everything is remembered and everything is kept forever, you need to live for the future and things you really care about.

A mind set in its ways is wasted. Don't do it.

Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. Even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new and make a difference.

None of us is as smart as all of us.
