Follow your heart and intuition.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
(Steve Jobs)
Don’t be cocky!
“Don’t be cocky. Don’t be flashy. There’s always someone better than you.”

Have a clear goal!
“Not having a clear goal leads to death by a thousand compromises.”

This is a must-have in your Gmail…
You know those morning when you are sleepy, angry with the world, and you start answering emails shouting at people for no reason?
Let’s assume things go horribly wrong and you just sent out a nasty stupid undeserved comment you shouldn’t have, and especially not to that receiver
If you are using Gmail, you are screwed… Gmail is sending out email immediately and proudly making a point out of it…
Well, if you install “Undo Send” from Yuzo (search for it in Gmail labs) at least you have up to 30 seconds to recall that email…

Where is the borderline between stealing and gettin inspiration?
Commenting this post:
Honestly, ideas are worthless unless you succeed into turning them into a successful product. And I am one of those who usually develop original ideas versus stealing them.
The point is a lot of people have the same ideas more or less at the same time, and as people more influential than me said in the past, any idea is owning a lot to all the previous consequential steps made by others.
The world is full of people who had good ideas and were not able to make a worth-full product out of them.
Let’s take the direction facebook took not long ago, became the social engine of the web, became a cloud-platform for everyone to build on top of and leverage on social network, either you develop games, e-commerce, news, etc…
I think is relatively original, and I think we owe that kid something for pursing it, while all the other big players, I am thinking about Microsoft, Google, Yahoo… Are missing the boldness to do the same.
And The social network is a nice movie.
