Notes:

I am reading now a book (Thiel & Masters, 2014) and feeling lost. It does not mean that the reading material is not good, but the situation is in different level compared where I am now. As a college not-yet-a-professor I am facing very administrative routines that act like an energy sink. It absorb every enthusiasm, dream, imagination, passion, and others, you name it, that I have.

The illustration about the difference between globalization and technoloy is very good. I am now, according to the definition, persuing the path of more to globalization instead of to technoloy.

The fact that startups require customers to be success holds my tounge. I always think that if I can make something good and the others need it, that is. Well, unfortunately it is not just that.

In the book following sentences

tell one of four big lessons learned by enterpreneurs stucked with Sillicon Valley from the dot-com crash. They four still guide business thinking today.
