Work is the set of things that you have to do, that you don't want to do

What would you say the key differences are between success and failure? What does one startup have versus one that doesn't make it?

Uh, luck is a big one. Timing is everything, but you kind of make your own luck, you know, if you stay at it long enough. So, I see entrepreneurial efforts often fail, but good entrepreneurs don't fail because they stay at it.

Uh, I don't believe in this model where you basically pick something to do and then you struggle at it your entire life. I think rather a lot of life is about finding what you're meant to do uniquely.

I, me, the combinatorics of human DNA are staggering. You've got 7 billion people on this planet; you're never going to meet any two people who are even vaguely alike and can substitute for each other. So, every human being is unique, and what you're going to be amazingly good at is a thing that you do for fun, the thing that you're passionate about.

No one can compete with you on something that you find entertaining, right? No matter how much hard work they put in, 'cause for you that's not work.

Uh, I consider the definition of work to be the set of things that you have to do that you don't want to do. And if you like what you do, then it's not work.
