"Being young, and unknown, and poor is actually a great gift in terms of being able to take risks."

"To pick what you should work on, look for things at the intersection of what you're good at, what you enjoy, and where you can create value for the world."

“The way things get done in the world is through a combination of focus, and personal connection.” This is a quote taken from Charlie Rose, as said by Sam Altman at the 3:00 min mark in this video.
