Clearly as you move to being a public company, probably even more than growth, there is a huge value based on predictability.

Not having a clear goal leads to death by a thousand compromises.

Don't lose sight of user delight.

Get five or six of your smartest friends in a room and ask them to rate your idea.

Just take a breath and see what happens.

Who sows a field, or trains a flower, Or plants at tree, is more than all.

There's a sort of decency among the dead, a remarkable discretion: you never find them making any complaint against the doctor who killed them!
