Loved this David! So true about turning okay things into great things in the process. How many startups are actually the thing the people set out to build?

For writing or anything you feel like it needs to be perfect before working on it but the beauty appears during the creation.

And as always lots of great links =]

Thanks Sam. The last two newsletter pieces are pretty much verbatim brain dumps of my current mood. I find that just the act of reminding myself of basic truths is so important at times.

Thanks for the comment Aquib. Congrats on the newsletter/blog (you tackle an important question in your first post!).

I wish more people would share their ideas. We all benefit when we learn from others. I’ve found that most people think (wrongly) that they don’t have much to add to the general internet dialogue. I find this is not the case. In just about every email correspondence I’ve started up with readers who’ve reached out to me, I’ve learned something new or something interesting—to the point that I’m often telling people: “You need to share that with others” and “You need to make a blog post on that!”
