If every year in Silicon Valley ages us 7 years, then I’ve now been in Silicon Valley for 119 years.

Summary of wisdom I’ve learned:

1/ Kindness matters.

2/ Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

3/ Give a little every single day. Over time that truly adds up...
4/ Be fearless. Disrupt with courage.

Fortune favors the bold.

5/ Be somebody. Do something.

Every. Single. Day.

6/ Be who you are, as hard as you can.

Every. Single. Day.

7/ Like the kind. Follow the insightful.

Every. Single. Day.

8/ What we do every day is more important than what we do sporadically.

Build good habits.

We are what we repeatedly do.

9/ The world is moved by our examples, not by our opinions.

10/ All lessons of history in four sentences:

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power.

The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small.

The bee fertilizes the flower it robs.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

(Charles A Beard)
11/ The most difficult tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements but moral acts:

To return love for hate,

To include the excluded,

And to say "I was wrong."

(Sydney J Harris, via my brother)
