GVMR : nc

Quotes of the day: 

- "It's harmless if reporters and know-it-alls dismiss your startup. They always get things wrong.
 It's even ok if investors dismiss your startup; they'll change their minds when they see growth. 
 The big danger is that you'll dismiss your startup yourself." - via PG
- "Tough times never last, but tough people do" - Dr. Robert Schuller. [Note: I am certainly 
not religious. But choosing not to learn from someone who may be religious, is ridiculous. Besides, the quote rings true]

* 13:15 to 14:50 Talking to a senior at the coffee shop. Spoke about education, entrepreneurship, small vs not so small
  government and other subjects. Individual kept moving from one topic to another and it's always difficult to have
  conversations where there isn't a focus on a particular topic. But, once in a while, I do not mind such conversations.
  But only once in a while.
