Google founder Larry Page explains how he decides what to work on When asked about his philosophy and only working on “10x ideas”, Page invokes the idea of additionality from economics: “It means doing something that wouldn’t happen unless you’re actually doing it. I think the more you can...

Jony Ive designed the iPhone. The iMac. The MacBook. He asked Steve Jobs to soften his criticism. Jobs: "No. You're just vain. You want people to like you." Jony was furious. Because he knew it was true. He spent 3 minutes explaining what Jobs actually taught him: The first lesson: Focus. "This sounds really simplistic. But it still shocks me how few people actually practice it." "Steve was the most remarkably focused person I've ever met in my life." "Focus is not something you aspire to. It's not something you decide on Monday. 'You know what, I'm going to be focused.'" "It is every minute asking: why are we talking about this? This is what we're working on." "You can achieve so much when you truly focus." The second lesson: What focus actually means. "One of the things Steve would say, because I think he was concerned that I wasn't focused, he would say: how many things have you said no to?" "And I would have these sacrificial things. Because I wanted to be very honest about it." "So I'd say: I said no to this, and no to that." "But he knew I wasn't vaguely interested in doing those things anyway. So there was no real sacrifice." Here's what real focus means. "Saying no to something that with every bone in your body you think is a phenomenal idea." "That you wake up thinking about." "But you say no to it because you're focusing on something else." The third lesson: The difference between caring about people and caring about being liked. Jony asked Jobs why he was so harsh. "Couldn't we moderate the things we said a little bit?" "Why?" "Because I care about the team." Jobs said something brutally insightful. "No Johnny. You're just really vain." "You just want people to like you." "I thought you really held the work up as the most important. Not how you believed you were perceived by other people." "I was terribly cross." "Because I knew he was right."

Spotify founder Daniel Ek to the CEO of Uber: “Since when is life about happiness?” When Dara Khosrowshahi was offered the job of Uber CEO, he consulted his long-time friend Daniel Ek, the founder of Spotify. Dara told Daniel that he was already happy being the CEO of Expedia, to which Daniel replied, “Since when is life about happiness? It’s about impact. You can have an impact on Uber, which is a really important company in the world that’s shaping the future of cities.” Daniel expands on what he meant by his advice to Dara: “I think happiness is a trailing indicator of impact . . . and impact is something that’s deeply personal to you. Only you can define what impact means for you . . . What was obvious for me, with someone like Dara, was he was content. He wasn’t happy. Knowing him for a while, he had gone through a phase where he had a lot of ups and downs with Expedia, and he mostly figured it out . . . Life was good. It was really easy. But there was an element of him — and you could hear it in his voice — where he was sort of like . . . ‘Why aren’t you going to go for greatness?’ ‘Why aren’t you going to test yourself?’ Because if you succeed this could be huge and you don’t really get many of these chances in your life.” Daniel continues: “But with another person, I might have given totally different piece of advice. So I don’t think it’s a universal truth. But I do think the universal truth is that happiness trails impact and impact is something that’s highly unique. It could be something innate in you. It could be having impact on other people. It could be having impact by being a great father around your kids. I don’t pretend to know that there’s one game to play or one universal truth of life. I certainly believe for entrepreneurial types — probably more like myself — this is really one of those key things: consider impact.” Video source: David Senra (2025)

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those. The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized. You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you. There are 2 categories of things in this world: 1) Things that are up to you 2) Things that are not up to you Which category does your reputation sit in? Your reputation is not up to you. I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things. What's up to you? How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you. Here's how I know that: You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control. I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words? You! You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way. When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control. We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."
