Sometimes in your life you read or hear something that resonates with your being. You feel like those words were created for you, that somehow they belong to you, that they open your eyes and your mind. They change you forever.

1. Words that changed my life

2. Sometimes in your life you read or hear something that resonates with your being. You feel like those
words were created for you, that somehow they belong to you, that they open your eyes and your mind.
They change you forever.

3. 1 Impossible is nothing.
It came as a revelation to me. That moment changed my way of thinking and the way I approached problems.

4. 2 So you have to trust that the
dots will somehow connect in
your future. You have to trust in
something — your gut, destiny,
life, karma, whatever.
This approach has never let me
down, and it has made all the
difference in my life.
My son, I want to give you an advice.

5. 3 Good artists copy;
great artists steal.
There was a time when I though that everything starts with a blank sheet. Now I know better.

6. 4
In theory, theory and practice are
the same. In practice, they are not.
Once I was a romantic and a naive. Now I shut up and start testing.

7. 5 Real artists ship.
I don’t create abandonware anymore.

8. 6 It's not just what it looks
like and feels like.
Design is how it works.
Design is such an esoteric thing. Alchemy sounds piece of cake.

9. 7 Life can be much broader, once
you discover one simple fact, and
that is everything around you that
you call life was made up by
people that were no smarter then
you. And you can change it, you
can influence it, you can build
your own things that other people
can use. Once you learn that
you'll never be the same again.
Yes, this is the Secret of Life.

10. 8 Do less than your
competitors to beat them.
Solve the simple problems
and leave the hairy, difficult,
nasty problems to everyone
else. Instead of oneupping,
try one-downing. Instead of
outdoing, try underdoing.
I always loved books, but none so much as Getting Real.

11. 9 Stick to what's truly essential. Take
whatever you think your product
should be and cut it in half.
Or, life is short, don’t waste it.

12. 10
Share your knowledge
with the world.
I keep thinking about what I know and might be useful to others. Then I share that.
