Your mindset matters. It affects everything - from the business and investment decisions you make, to the way you raise your children, to your stress levels and overall well-being.

Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big.

Your mission is to find a product or service that can positively impact the lives of 1 billion people because that's the game we're playing today.

The U.S. government doesn't build your computers, nor do you fly aboard a U.S. government owned and operated airline. Private industry routinely takes technologies pioneered by the government and turns them into cheap, reliable and robust industries. This has happened in aviation, air mail, computers, and the Internet.

With faster Internet and better computers, you'd better believe we're creating and consuming more digital data.

One thing that humans still do better than computers is recognize images.

If anyone has seen success and failure on a global stage, it's my friend Steve Forbes.

I think we're heading towards a world of what I call 'technological socialism.' Where technology - not the government or the state - will begin to take care of us. Technology will provide our healthcare for free. The best education in the world - for free.

All over the world, we're seeing access to food, clean water, education and healthcare improve; as a result, global innovation is rising as well.

Many have built their careers buttressing the status quo, reinforcing what they've already accomplished, and resisting the radical thinking that can topple their legacy - not exactly the attitude you want when trying to drive innovation forward.

Your chances of dying a violent death are 1/500th of what they used to be during medieval times.

After more than a decade as the editor of 'Wired' magazine, Chris Anderson started the company of his dreams - a robotics manufacturing company called 3D Robotics - to produce the autonomous flying vehicles coming out of DIY Drones.

My childhood dreams were focused on being part of the effort to make humanity a multiplanetary species.

I think that we're living in a time where there are trillion-dollar opportunities that never existed before.

Nothing matters more than your health. Healthy living is priceless. What millionaire wouldn't pay dearly for an extra 10 or 20 years of healthy aging?

Many people who try to do big bold things in the world find out it's not about the money or the technology: It's about the regulatory hurdles that will try and stop you.

As medical research continues and technology enables new breakthroughs, there will be a day when malaria and most all major deadly diseases are eradicated on Earth.

Learning how to understand how technology evolves, using tools like a Technology Road Map, is what you need more than anything to ride on top of the tsunami instead of being crushed by it.

If the government regulates against use of drones or stem cells or artificial intelligence, all that means is that the work and the research leave the borders of that country and go someplace else.

Because it's cheaper and easier to fly than ever before, air travel is becoming democratized.

If you have a fear of flying, don't. The data are very clear: If you have to travel someplace, the safest way is by airplane.

When hiring, trust your feelings.

At its core, bitcoin is a smart currency designed by very forward-thinking engineers. It eliminates the need for banks, gets rid of credit card fees, currency exchange fees, money transfer fees, and reduces the need for lawyers in transitions... all good things.

My personal fascination with the power of the crowd has been growing: Exactly what can a 'crowd' accomplish? We know crowds can raise billions of dollars, create Wikipedia, and even design and build small autonomous drones. But how about something large and complex like designing a new car, and maybe someday even a spaceship?

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.

If someone is always to blame, if every time something goes wrong someone has to be punished, people quickly stop taking risks. Without risks, there can't be breakthroughs.

Super-ambitious goals tend to be unifying and energizing to people; but only if they believe there's a chance of success.

Even in an organization that's doing something big and bold, there's the mundane, day-to-day execution work of keeping it going. But people need to stay connected to the boldness, to the vision, and stay plugged in to the main vein of the dream.

Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways.

In 1980, during my sophomore year at MIT, I realized that the school didn't have a student space organization. I made posters for a group I called Students for the Exploration and Development of Space and put them up all over campus. Thirty-five people showed up. It was the first thing I ever organized, and it took off!

The communications industry has been tremendously successful, but we need to build the railroads and the oil wells and the gold mines of space.

I don't think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it.

We live in a world bathed in 5,000 times more energy than we consume as a species in the year, in the form of solar energy. It's just not in usable form yet.

Nothing is more precious than life... especially the life of your child.
