My favourite line:

    Startups don't win by attacking. They win by transcending.
and the two paragraphs that follow.
    There is also a complementary force at work: if you want to build great things, it helps to be driven by a spirit of benevolence. The startup founders who end up richest are not the ones driven by money. The ones driven by money take the big acquisition offer that nearly every successful startup gets en route. [1] The ones who keep going are driven by something else. They may not say so explicitly, but they're usually trying to improve the world. Which means people with a desire to improve the world have a natural advantage.

Even if none of this article is true, life is better if we live as if it were true.

    Use the Force, Luke.
