“If you’re looking for inspiration from Uber’s notorious magic, consider how it took an existing product, used existing technology, and delivered it to existing markets. Yet, its business model remains hard to replicate—and that’s the real magic trick. As the old Silicon Valley saying goes: If you can’t creatively turn $1 into $10, why do you expect to turn $1 million into $10 million?”

“How on Earth was Uber, with its reported $10 billion loss from operations since 2016, and other gigantic creatures of the Internet Economy, able to flip the tedious “viability-profitability-expansion” route into an entirely new direction—“viability-expansion (maybe) profitability”? Elementary—by ensuring consistent financing or, simply put, by having access to capital on the fly and turning their business models into platforms instead of building traditional pipes, so that acquiring new businesses is not a question—it is the answer.”

“Don’t spin your wheels chasing after something that is not meant to be. There is something else better that is just around the corner, and it’s got your name on it in ALL CAPS!”

“Entrepreneurs don't have weekends or birthdays or holidays. Every day is my weekend, my birthday, my holiday. OR, every day is my work day. Mostly it's a choice.”

“The world needs teachers – teachers who have broken their own shackles of indoctrination – teachers who can go beyond the narrow-mindedness of the society. A handful of these young, brave and zealous teachers in every nation, shall be enough to rekindle the spark of pure knowledge in the entire species.”

“Never, ever, ever, write off anything you’ve achieved as merely being lucky. You are not lucky: you are hard-working and capable. Don’t ever question it.”

“Success in entrepreneurship is very much like a game—part chess match, part poker tournament, and part schoolyard soccer competition. You’ve got to make decisive moves in a really strategic way, bluff on occasion when you want others to think that you have a better hand, and pass the ball to and from teammates to hit your goals. Sometimes, it will be a straight line to a quick score, and at other times, you will have to double back, up the ante, and formulate a new plan.”

“You can never follow exactly what someone else did and expect it to work. You have to find your own route, leaning heavily on your confidence, trial and error, patience and persistence. It’s about 90 percent hard work and 10 percent timing and luck.”
