Lesson number one: opportunity can be manufactured.

A personal belief is that if you're not personally invested in what you're working on, you'll fail.

I think of Twitter as a messaging system that you didn't know you needed until you had it. Think about when cell phones first started coming out. People said, Why would I carry my phone around? And now you'll drive back to your house thirty miles if you forget your cell phone.
