From my experience, you can’t wait around to find what you love. You gotta work your ass off. And then you find what you love by doing piles and piles of work. - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...
Travel is important. But, what really changes you is moving to a new place and starting to build a life there. It happened to me in Chicago. It’s happening to me in Shanghai. Being here is the hardest thing I’ve ever done but… it’s changed me. It’s like all of those quotes we post on Tumblr about wanting something more, and then waking up on a... - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...
Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. However, as most companies grow, they slow down too much because they’re more afraid of making mistakes than they are of losing opportunities by moving too slowly. We have a saying: “Move fast and break things.” The idea is that if you never break anything, you’re probably not moving... - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...

“Why? How? What? This little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren’t. Let me define the terms really quickly. Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100 percent. Some know how they do it, whether you call it your differentiated value proposition or your... - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...
“There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won’t go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds… I... - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...
“Travel agents would be wiser to ask us what we hope to change about our lives rather than simply where we wish to go.”

A few photos from my trip visiting Paharganj and one of Salaam Baalak Trust’s home for boys in Delhi.

Nowadays, I don’t have a plan, an exit strategy, or a career arc in mind. So it’s like: keep working on things. Don’t sit and play PlayStation and wait for the phone to ring. Go out and see music, see art, participate. Then you just cross your fingers and hope it will work out OK. - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...
I will be seeing this in a few days. Incredible.

You can try to escape the story of your life, but you can’t. It happened… Heart broke. I knew you when you were young. Heart broke too. I will know you when we are old too. And maybe wise. I know you now. Your story. Mine isn’t the one I would have chosen in the beginning. But, I’ll take it. It is my story. It’s only mine. And, it’s not over.... - http://wearethedigitalkids.tumblr.com/post...
