"I need the Sea because it teaches me"

"Coding is destined to become a new form of widespread literacy within the next 20 to 30 years. Everybody should learn to code, he says, because machine/human and machine/machine interaction is becoming as ubiquitous as human/human interaction. Those who don’t know how to code soon will be in the same position as those who couldn’t read or write 200 years ago."

Billy Chasen and his cofounder Seth Goldstein had an intriguing idea: To create an app that could meld the physical world with the virtual realm so that users could leave digital stickers in the form of QR codes on physical objects. These would then link to photos, video articles, and blog posts on the web. After raising $2 million in venture capital they launched Sticky Bits, an idea that big brands adored but users never warmed to. Undeterred, they pirouetted—some would say rebooted—to a whole new concept, and thus was born Turntable.fm: a social music service that lets you hang out with friends in chat rooms and act as DJs.

Enough said.

There are never any traffic jams at the “extra-mile.” Just keep pushing because most people will give up long before you.

Favorite trip in the entire world

There is no more “yes” answers. Only “hell yeah!” and “no”.

If you’re not saying “hell yeah!” about a new project.. simply say “no”. Every event you get invited to, every request to start a new project.. if you’re not saying “hell yeah!” about it.. say “no”. We’re all busy, we’ve all taken on too much. Saying “Yes” to less is the way out.

- Derek Sivers

"

What’s your compass? Most people don’t know why they’re doing what they doing. They imitate others, go with the flow and follow paths without ever making their own. They spend decades in the pursuit of something that someone convinced them they should want, without realizing that it WON’T make them happy.

Don’t be on your death bed someday having squandered your once chance at life filled with regret because you pursued little distractions instead of big dreams.

"Success comes from persistently improving and inventing, NOT from persistently doing what’s not working."

My favorite part of any exercise (especially running) is when you hit the “wall”. That point in your time when your body is screaminggg “please stop, please stop!” but your mind chuckles in the background and says “fuck you, I set a goal and we’re hitting it.”

The infamous @SnazzyQ product reviewer from YouTube did an amazing review for Zeniick. Check it.
