It's hard to tell with these internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. i can tell you, though: if they don't really want to build a company, they won't luck into it. that's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion, you'll give up.

More From Steve Jobs

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

It's not that you don't want to earn as much money as you can - it is your obligation, of course - but companies have obligations beyond that and they certainly have obligations beyond that at certain times, in the times in which they operate. and they also certainly ought to know that meeting and beating expectations is probably yesterday's game and it will be increasingly so, which would be by the way very healthy for companies. running a company that meets and beats expectations, and that runs their company accordingly, are companies that i would question why anyone would invest in.

People really don't like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. as they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. they don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. there is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. if you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. but it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation.

Startups allow technologists and scientists to take risks and change plans in a way that would be frowned upon in a big company. having said that, big companies will play a key role in certain areas and in partnerships with little companies. each has its strengths.
