BIZ STONEYou can be hyperconnected, then you can take a break for a couple days and it’s fine.
BIZ STONESo I taught myself web design, and then in 1999 some friends of mine decided to start a company called Xanga.com, which was a very early kind of social network slash blogging community.
BIZ STONEYou have to have an emotional investment in what you’re doing. If you don’t love what you’re doing, failure is pretty much guaranteed.

BIZ STONEThis idea that the open exchange of information can have a positive global impact is being proven over and over again around the world nearly on a daily basis – and for Secretary Clinton to recognize that, I think, is a huge step.
BIZ STONEWillingness to take risks is the path to success.
