The document encourages visionary ideas and remembering our shared humanity.

1. A person does not seek
luck; luck seeks the
person.

2. “ Technology is the
knack of so arranging
the world that we don't
have to experience it. ”
—Max Frisch

3. Gather the breadfruit from the farthest branches
first.
· Pursue drastic and large-scale innovation within and on
the fringes of WMG.
· In France at least, that doesn't appear to have worked.
· Don't focus on protection: focus on engagement, on
attraction, on enabling followers not pushing
enforcement.
· The infosphere includes, but is not limited to, the
Internet.

4. I like this moment, and look forward to the next.
Disintermediate e-business content

5. The opportunity that God sends does not wake up
him who sleeps.
· Then, indeed, filtering, culling and curation will be the
key to success.
· The leading apps include bookshelf, stanza which I
have, ereader, feedbooks etc here is a good list.
· Coherent theses or complete philosophies are not
usually presented in the shape of single-serving Tumblr.
· Interactions, enriched with multimedia, allow for us to
construct high-resolution reflections of ourselves.

6. “ Everybody gets so
much information all
day long that they lose
their common sense. ”
—Gertrude Stein

7. Even though you know a thousand things, ask the
man who knows one.
· There is nothing to be gained by refusal! Start to
cooperate rather than to try to dominate these
conversations.
· When you walk into a bookstore and there are a range
of prices.
· Avoiding profile and account 'pollution' can be a major
driver of payment adoption.
· It is the social that gives context to information and
equally reduces the amount of information that has to be
transferred.

8. In conclusion
· Incentivize visionary mashups
· Transition viral markets
· Harness cutting-edge web services
· and remember: You will not dare mistreat the face you
see in the morning.
