You have to find a path to being great at every layer. Focus on how to be great at each layer, and you’ve got a shot at success. And those are only the variables you can pretend to control!

Perhaps even more deep in his wisdom - it’s good to think about what went wrong, and to try and not repeat the mistakes of your (or others) past. But in the end, you won’t succeed because of that - you won’t strategize your way out of future problems.
You find the ways it’s right, and replicate those. Transformative user experience. Massive adoption. Strong sense of community. Advancing people’s careers. Incredible conferences.
Put 90% of your energy into getting what’s in front of you as right as you can make it. Never take it for granted. Put 10% into keeping clear eyes and open hearts about what’s happening to your strategy. Adjust.
That focus on the work, over a long enough time horizon - that’s the game. You might win, you might loose, but that’s how you shoot your best shot. It’s fun to analyze how things didn’t go as well as we hope, but it’s not the game. The daily work is.
