“That raises the possibility of a single vaccination, introduced to a person once in his or her lifetime, that would free that person from nicotine’s addictive qualities for life. That person could still choose to enjoy a cigarette for the sheer pleasure of sucking sweet, sweet tarred tobacco smoke into his or her lungs, but the capacity for addiction would be muted. It could also be used to treat smokers who have exhausted other quitting aids.”

Nothing Insightful: What iOS 6 Mobile Safari Offers Front End Devs:

taitems:

Here’s what we know about Mobile Safari in iOS 6 so far, and what it brings to the table for front end developers. I expect there’s more to come in future betas and as people experiment with the current beta more.

This is a fantastic infographic explaining how bad carbs can be for you. I’ve tried to explain this to many people in person, but a flowchart makes it so much easier. Thanks to Massive Health for designing it.

I wish someone had told me this when I was 18 years old.

You cannot accomplish something great overnight.

**Sometimes I write for you, and sometimes I write for myself. Continue reading for a self pep talk, that hopefully gets you a little fired up too :) **

Any real substantial, lasting contribution to the world, any achievement worth writing home about, or that may be written in a history book someday, takes time to develop and deliver.

The path ahead, starting is hard:

When you’re only in the second inning, the game ahead can seem daunting.

When you’re building a house, the foundation can take a long time to settle.

In a startup understanding your market (customer development) may take a full year or more.

Follow thru, eye on the prize:

It will take all 9 innings, and maybe more to win.

You can’t live in a house without… a foundation, walls, support, a roof.

No company will flourish without team, product, culture, a mission.

You’ve got to have a vision for the win, a vision for the deliverable, a vision for the future.

Focus, the details matter most:

Each run driven home.

Each nail driven in.

Each hire or customer closed.

My Dad has always said that his greatest success was in 30 years, he had 1 wife, 1 house, and 1 job. He’s a man who believes that consistency and persistance brings value. Jumping from this to that, and losing focus will lead to a less fulfilling life and likely block you from reaching your greatest potential. He hates all the trades in sports…if he were GM of the Chargers we still might have Stan Humphries under center :) In short, avoid unnecessary change, stay the course.

Have a vision for your future and your life and your business. The path ahead will be long, and it will seem longer at the beginning. Focus on the details and follow thru as you get closer to your goal. It will become more of a reality every day and that will give you the encouragement and excitement to “keep calm and carry on”. You will not do anything that substantial without some endurance so keep cranking, it’s right ahead of you.

JWZ had some choice words for VCs the other day:

When a VC tells you what’s good for you, check your wallet, then count your fingers.

I did make a bunch of money by winning the Netscape Startup Lottery, it’s true. So did most of the early engineers. But the people who…
