“

You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you.

They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong. They make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool.

That’s because we’re uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem.

Good-looking people don’t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we’re smarter.

Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love… and let’s face it, you got a big head start.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we’re uncool.
My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.

“Take the money you’d spend on your MBA and start a company right now. Go head first, balls to the wall. Learn to deal with the fear, the uncertainty. Get laughed at by VCs with MBAs. Fuck up, embarrass yourself and learn to recover, to persist, to lick your wounds and pick yourself back up. That’s the shit you really need, and not even Harvard––especially not Harvard––can teach you that.”

“

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

“

Remember, if the pain doesn’t kill you, it only hurts a lot. A lot of the time, near-fatal events are often just that — near-fatal. They don’t quite kill you. Startups are vulnerable, but generally resilient.

Your natural reaction when something really bad happens is to think about the worst-case scenario. But, that’s usually counter productive. Think about the most likely scenario and solve based on that.

Try and make a realistic determination of how important it is to respond quickly. Often, when something really bad happens, entrepreneurs make the mistake of assuming they have to respond immediately. In many cases, that’s both unnecessary — and risky. For example, if someone threatens legal action, resist the temptation to respond immediately.

What you don’t want to do is start compounding a bad event with panic-induced mistakes. It’s important to remain calm and give yourself time (and sometimes distance) to make plan a thoughtful response. I know, that’s easier said than done. If it makes you feel any better (it should), know that most entrepreneurs (even the successful ones) have near-fatal events happen.

“But we made a mistake which was to try to follow the same formula we did at Apple, to make the whole widget. But the market was changing. The industry was changing. The scale was changing. And in the end we knew we would be either the last company to make it or the first to not make it. We were right on the edge. We thought we would be the last one that made it, but we were wrong. We were the first one that didn’t. We put an end to the companies that tried to do that. We certainly made our fair share of mistakes, but in the end I think we should have taken a bit longer to realize the world was changing and just gone on to be a software company right off the bat.”

‘Ganga’ by Rabbi Shergil

Never give in to
Clocks or clocktowers
Do not carry the cross
Of a stranger’s knowledge

Break the dams, jump in
It is your father’s advice
What’s the point in remaining dry
Time just flies away

You swim in my Ganga
You swim in my Yamuna

Your forehead is the open sky
Feet rest on the earth
The wind caresses and
Kisses you all over
Your way is the river
Your breath the wilderness
Never give in to the city’s meanness
Go find a house sans geometry

You swim in my Ganga
You swim in my Yamuna

Between you and experience
Lies the colourful Kaliyug
Buried under the cement
Is the Satyug, dig it out
Take the earth in your hand
Rub it all over

When this town
Turns to ashes
And your gold
To dust
Do not break down
Find the wonder in your breath
Give a call
Of contentment in your being
And sow the seed
Of a new existence
Do not look
Back
The waves will
Wipe away all footprints

You swim in my Ganga
You swim in my Yamuna
