“When you’re 20, you care what people think about you. When you’re 40, you don’t care what people think about you. When you’re 60, you realize that no one thought about you in the first place.”

Bob Hope

Paul Orfalea (Kinko’s) is one of my favorite entrepreneurs. I like how he’s willing to say to a room full of Stanford MBAs that their grades don’t matter and that it’s MBAs like them who screwed up his business when FedEx bought it.

This talk may be a little long, but totally worth it — it’s the most business and life wisdom you’ll ever get in 60 minutes. Better still, read his book, ‘Copy This!’.

“Were it not for the intelligent, fresh sense of humor of individuals like Mr. Stein, the world may never know about Americans who happen to be of Indian descent. Gags about impossibly spicy food? I’d never heard those before! Multiple Gods with multiple arms? Multiple laughs! Recounting racial slurs like “dot-head”? Oh, Mr. Stein, is too good! I don’t know how he comes up with such unique bits. (I was worried that he’d missed an opportunity to joke about Dr. King’s predecessor, Gandhi, but I see that he got to that hilarity on Twitter. More never-before-heard satire!)”

“The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.”

Bertrand Russell

“Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. The big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.”

Letter from Apple Regarding iPhone 4

I love the tone that Apple PR uses in this letter. I really had to double check the URL to make sure The Onion wasn’t going 2 steps further to dupe us these days. 

“Most people are so worried about looking good that they never do anything great. Most people are so worried about doing something great that they never do anything at all.”

I assume I’m below average | Derek Sivers

An interesting look into the psychological cognitive bias of illusory superiority. If everybody thinks they’re above average, then who ends up being below average?

“Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.”
