There are still many large white spaces on the map of human knowledge. You can go discover them. So do it. Get out there and fill in the blank spaces. Every single moment is a possibility to go to these new places and explore them.

More quotes by Peter Thiel
I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.
Peter Thiel
There's been a lot companies that have shown zero to one kind of growth in the computer, internet software age. Facebook and Google are zero to one companies. Apple's iPhone was the first smartphone that really works, and of course, then you scale it horizontally, but the vertical component was really critical. Space X would also be one.
Peter Thiel
A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It's like telling the world there's no Santa Claus.
Peter Thiel
You'll attract the employees you need if you can explain why your mission is compelling: not why it's important in general, but why you're doing something important that no one else is going to get done.
Peter Thiel
A company does better the less it pays the CEO.
Peter Thiel
No company has a culture every company is a culture.
Peter Thiel
We might describe our world as having retail sanity, but wholesale madness.
Peter Thiel
Big part of the challenge to innovation is that people too easily resign themselves to dying.
Peter Thiel
The developing world can just do things that are extensive or horizontal, that basically copy. The developed world needs to do things that are intensive or vertical, where we take our civilization to the next level.
Peter Thiel
Moving first is a tactic, not a goal.
Peter Thiel
As you craft a plan to expand to adjacent markets, don't disrupt: Avoid competition as much as possible.
Peter Thiel
What nerds miss is that it takes hard work to make sales look easy.
Peter Thiel
University administrators are the equivalent of subprime mortgage brokers selling you a story that you should go into debt massively, that it's not a consumption decision, it's an investment decision. Actually, no, it's a bad consumption decision. Most colleges are four-year parties.
Peter Thiel
If you can identify a delusional popular belief, you can find what lies hidden behind it: the contrarian truth.
Peter Thiel
A startup is the largest endeavor over which you can have definite mastery. You can have agency not just over your own life, but over a small and important part of the world. It begins by rejecting the unjust tyranny of Chance. You are not a lottery ticket.
Peter Thiel
Consider the trivial but revealing hallmarks of urban hipsterdom: faux vintage photography, the handlebar mustache, and vinyl record players all hark back to an earlier time when people were still optimistic about the future. If everything worth doing has already been done, you may as well feign an allergy to achievement and become a barista.
Peter Thiel
Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius.
Peter Thiel
When you are starting a new business you don't want to go after giant markets. You want to go after small markets and take over those markets quickly.
Peter Thiel
Long-term planning is often undervalued by our indefinite short-term world.
Peter Thiel
Customers won’t care about any particular technology unless it solves a particular problem in a superior way. And if you can’t monopolize a unique solution for a small market, you’ll be stuck with vicious competition.
