You are smarter when you're in the company of smarter people than you. Fifty percent of my friends have to be from walks of life that are not directly related to my walk of life, and at least fifty percent of my friends are smarter than I am.

Ready, Fire, Aim. If you feel positive in your gut about your idea — do it. Don't get stuck in the limbo of 'Ready, Aim, Aim, Aim' and let someone else do the firing. Be there first!
