fmitchell0··on The real reason Marissa Mayer left Google: She had to
and if she turns Yahoo's better assets (news, Flickr, dev tools) into the face of the company while inventing something ridiculously awesome (maybe a dead simple, language agnostic calendar/scheduling api...lol), she'll be hailed as a genius.

if you're an entrepreneur and you've already made it, taking the biggest risk seems like the obvious choice (elon musk, anyone?)

good for her.

fmitchell0··on Jeff Bezos Taught Me When to Quit
I think the point of the article is connecting to the emotional (and sometimes spiritual) experience of quitting.

I think everyone should quit or get fired from a job at least once in their life. People talk about starting this or wishing things were better, but until you've gone through the utter terror of quitting/being fired, you never know how resilient you can be moving on to the next challenge.

It's kind of like starting a business. You can talk all you want, but until you do it (or it happens to you), you don't get it.

The universe might have taken care of him, but that is because he realized it's not about how you fall down (even if you jump down), it's how you get up. If you keep getting up, the universe WILL help you out.
