The best revenge is massive success

There are so many great quotes in the world but what about this one?

“The best revenge is massive success”

Is this true? Sometimes yes. In the end revenge should be getting what you really wanted.

“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”

This often happens with successful business stories and manic businessmen. Mark Cuban is famous for letting people know that you worry about your baby and nothing else till success hits. Even if that means ketchup and mustard sandwiches.

“Writing is thought crystallized on a piece of paper, which can then be reviewed.”
“Never revisit the past, that’s dangerous. You know, move on.

If you have read the book funes the memorious then you may know that not revisiting the past is extremely tough and thus the result of Funes demise in the fable.

“I’m for whatever gets you through the night.”

“I’m gonna live till I die.”

-Frank Sinatra

In the end: “Whatever makes you happy”

How To Have a Lot of Fans

I do all sorts of fun projects. My idea is if an idea has merit then it should be made. Every so often I start on something and totally forget about that idea only to come back months later and see that the idea worked! So I checked on my “Official EDC Las Vegas Facebook Page” to see how everything was going since I have abandoned the page only to see to my smiling surprise that I have an additional 3,600 new likes to my facebook page.

So how did I get a lot of fans? Well it all goes back to an announcement of the EDC orlando in November of 2012. I created the first fan page and it grew from there. I interacted with the visitors and SEO’d the page up from some of my other websites that I owned at the time. I saw Cedric Gervais and Tweeted at him asking which Lana Del Rey song he had played and the next thing I was posting each and every DJ’s twitter handle online.

Then came the EDC Vegas page and a small interaction thanking all of Orlando and welcoming everybody to come out to Las Vegas for the show and the rest is forgotten history. Until yesterday at least.
