Focus on the step, not the outcome. 3. Committees kill revolutions. 4. Learning is the prize. 5. Institutions by default reject anything that means existing beliefs are wrong. 6. Happiness equals smiles minus frowns. 7. Misplaced loyalty is a waste. 8. Work alone on what matters if you must. 9. Patience compounds. 10. Hold your ideas with the right grip. Let go of incorrect ideas. 11. If it's worth doing, it's worth giving it 100%. 12. Obsession isn't a problem. It's an advantage. 13. Simplicity has the fewest moving parts. 14. Time will do the work for you if you align with how the world works. 15. Move with urgency. You can do it much faster than you think. 16. Design around engineering, not marketing. 17. Optimize for happiness, not fairness 18. You don't have to run the company to be a co-founder. 19. "It takes a lot of work to make something simple." 20. Obsess over customers. 21. Don't accept something because it's the way it is. 22. You win in the dark, when everyone else is partying or sleeping. 23. The only way to understand is to get your hands dirty in the work. 24. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." 25. The best are always learning more. (Listen now "Steve Wozniak on The Knowledge Project" or see links in comments.)
