“ Dream the dreams and then be foolish enough to make your dreams come true. That may not work for everybody, but it did work for me. It was sort of the approach I used - it never was rational and it never made total sense.
Vinod Khosla, Sun
“ You don’t solve all of the problems before jumping into a new situation. You just sort of believe in yourself enough to say: I’ll figure it out… one way or another! And I did figure it out… It wasn’t easy, but it all worked out.

“ It seems undeniable that most people are drawn to better themselves economically, given the chance. But what is often overlooked is that this is only part of a much broader human desire for more. We can and do seek more in material terms. But if we find more only in material terms then most of us are left with a sense of lack. To put it generally, human wellbeing requires something other than just more material prosperity.
That something else is the more that humans seek to gain in art, science and language - more feeling, more insight, more knowledge. It is why relationships are key to wellbeing too: in friendship and love, we reach out and find more to life in others. It is why religion, in its various guises, is more or less universal: the transcendent might be thought of as the ultimate “more”.

BILL MOYERS: Do you ever have the sense of… being helped by hidden hands?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL: All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time - namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.
