Yes, We Are Having Breakfast July 4

You won’t miss the fireworks, we will start at 7:30am and be done by 9AM at Hobee’s Palo Alto. A couple of quotes relevant to bootstrapping to tide you over until Friday:

From a Jun-16-2008 interview of Greg Gianforte, CEO of RightNow Technologies, by Javier Rojas on SandHill.com

Q: Any last words of advice for Founders starting a business?
A: Yes, if you are starting a business, don’t spend your time calling VCs; spend your time calling customers, figure out how to solve their problem and get them to pay for it.

An excerpt from C.S. Lewis‘ “Learning In War-Time” sermon

“Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice…If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun…Life has never been normal.”

And finally an elaboration of carpe diem by Samuel Smiles

“Lost wealth may be replaced by industry,
Lost knowledge by study,
Lost health by temperance or medicine,
But lost time is gone forever.”
