Once I had a mad crush on this girl in my neighborhood. I spoke to my dad about it and he suggested I write her a letter. I told him I was nervous about what to put in it and I suggested that maybe I should write it, leave it, read it in the morning and see if I felt I could send it.

My dad said something awesome that day. He said: "Mark, if everyone in the world thought like that-there would be no love letters."

...I can't help but feel that if everyone in the world thought like this guy-there would be no startups.
