Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks, on why aligning with founders before an acquisition is critical:
"I made a mistake early, the first company or second company I bought, finished spending six months trying to debate product direction after we bought them."
"So then we changed that model."
"I don't sign the definitive term sheet until I get the founder to sign on the joint product roadmap. I'm like, if you don't want to build what I want to build, then we shouldn't do this."
"You'd be surprised when there's a large check hanging on the other side of 30 days, how much more amenable founders are to aligning their product vision than after they've got the proceeds. It's unbelievable. It's night and day."

A question that comes up again and again in the biographies I read:
What do you do when you grow up poor, but your kids grow up rich?
Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks:
"Nothing. You created a distinction by yourself."
"I think it's very dangerous to take that circumstance and keep reminding your children, remember I was poor, you should be more grateful."
"Dude, get over it. They're born in this. Figure out a way that they can enjoy this."
"That's the hardest part in parenting is to make sure that your kids have drive, your kids have ambition, your kids want to achieve."

"Wake up every morning. Do the best you can to the best of your ability, leave no stone unturned, and then let fate do the rest."
From my conversation with Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks.

Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks, on why founders struggle to adapt after their companies are acquired:
"If you acquire a company and the founder is like you described, they're going to break glass and it's okay. But they also have to find a way of coexisting with the larger entity."
"If you're a founder, I have 6,000 people in the field. You have eight. You got to find a way of leveraging 6,000 people."
"Sometimes when you're a founder, you take on this point of view that everybody's stupid, I'm smart, I'm going to get this shit done. Anybody who comes in my way is basically slowing me down."
"You got to change. You got to need a mental reset if you're going to survive and succeed in a larger ecosystem."
"Sometimes founders who are used to doing small team stuff and going and being the underdog don't realize you went from being the underdog, now you're part of the overdog."

A business is very simple. You got to make more than you spend.”
Jason Fried on the only competitor he actually worries about:
“You can’t control what they’re going to put out there, what they’re going to price it at. What I can control is how much it costs me to run my business, how much I sell my product for.”
“As long as I make more than I spend, I get to stay in business. And isn’t that what this is all about?”

Aristotle defined zeal as a type of pain. It is felt by someone when they see another who is like them in nature who has accomplished good or admirable things that the other person is capable of but has not yet achieved."
Ben Wilson on the hidden emotion that drove some of the world's greatest leaders:
"One of my favorite stories of zeal is Thomas Edison. He's 21 years old.
He stayed up all night reading this biography of Michael Faraday."
"Faraday accomplished so much. I am already 21 years old. I might live to be 50. Can I accomplish as much as he did? I am going to hustle."
"He recognized someone who was like him, Faraday, who had accomplished so much more than he had. And so he wanted to compete with him across the generations."
"You see that same story play out with Julius Caesar looking at Alexander the Great."
"It's very common among the great achievers across all domains.
