I always tell people that what distinguishes Silicon Valley is not its successes but the way in which it deals with failure. We live in an industry, innovation industry, and we live in a place, Silicon Valley, that operates much like the home run averages for batters in the Major League. They’re going to strike out more than they get home runs, and they’re going to hit less than 500. That’s the deal. That’s the deal in the Valley. We’re going to hit less than 500. It’s by definition the case.
