On Functional Optimism
The biggest difference I've noticed between people with a low or high bias for action is that the former loops on "what if it goes wrong?" and the latter loops on "what if it goes right?”.
On Tenacity
On Speed
"Speed is a competitive advantage. Moving fast is a habit.
Most people don't realize that slowness is usually a choice.
At Stripe, we bias toward action. We don't wait for perfect clarity. We prefer doing and iterating to debating endlessly.
If something feels 80% right, ship it. If you're wrong, you'll fix it faster than your competitors finish arguing about it.
Momentum compounds. Every day you ship is a day you build speed."
— Patrick Collison (CEO, Stripe)

On Dreaming
“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.”
— T.E. Lawrence
