“Whether you're creating a business, writing a book, painting or composing music, extraordinary achievement often requires a level of obsession that shuts out much of the rest of the world. These individuals become completely absorbed in what they're doing. But there are enormous personal costs. Relationships suffer, people get hurt and much of ordinary life is sacrificed. Sometimes, however, extraordinary things emerge from that obsession.” Michael Moritz

He even disabled his television tuner. His mind was completely absorbed by what he was building. That degree of focus is characteristic of many extraordinary entrepreneurs.” Michael Moritz
