The problem here is, average performance means that you'll go out of business. The survival rate for startups is way less than fifty percent. So if you're running a startup, you had better be doing something odd. If not, you're in trouble."

By association, that's also what makes it so damn exciting.

I remember going back to my home town for the first time in a long time. I saw the same faces, doing the same things, in the same places. Nothing had changed. At all. It was like being in groundhog day. I apologised to my parents and took a cab to the airport that very evening. You don’t need to go to New York to see that.
