"I was just pursuing what I enjoyed doing. I mean, I was pursuing my passion. It is not really work if you are having fun…that was the case with me.

You should pursue your passion. If you're passionate about something and you work hard, then I think you will be successful.

I always wanted to be involved with computers.

Like most software people, it is very much passion more than anything else. The ability to create software that could have a benefit or an impact on people that used it was what was driving me. I was just very excited about learning everything I could.

You have to really believe in what you're doing, be passionate enough about it so that you will put in the hours and hard work that it takes to actually succeed there, and then you'll be successful."
