To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never -- I repeat -- never under any conditions face the facts.

Darwin's expression, "the struggle for existence," is sometimes erroneously interpreted as the struggle between different species. In reality, the struggle Darwin was thinking of and which drives evolution forward is the competition between near relations. What causes a species to disappear or become transformed into a different species is the profitable "invention" that falls by chance to one or a few of its members in the everlasting gamble of hereditary change. The descendants of these lucky ones gradually outstrip all others until the particular species consists only of individuals who possess the new "invention."

Efficient-market theorists will tell you that in a fully connected, real-time information environment, the only way to add value is to respond more quickly than anyone else to unpredictable events -- not to enshrine what you knew yesterday in code that you hope to keep running for months or years.

To exercise control over what happens to you as an individual, you must be involved with others in a process that decides what happens to you and your fellow citizens collectively. We can no longer separate the quality of personal life from the quality of social life. To preserve private space, we must also preserve the commons.

I don't see that it makes any point that someone in the Swedish academy just decides that this work is noble enough to receive a prize--I've already gotten the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding a thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it--those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

Information technology must be viewed from an ecological perspective. Information systems do not stand alone; they effect and are affected by the operational environment. Understanding how information technology "fits" into the larger context is the key to its effective use.
