> Pick something you’re passionate about and evangelize it.
> I’d take a missionary over a mercenary every day.

Cuban said earlier this year:

> Don’t Follow Your Passion, Follow Your Effort

Edge to Bezos because Amazon as a company has proven itself with staying power even when the nasties on Wall Street in the 1990s predicted AMZN would die. Cuban is more of a one-hit wonder who hit the jackpot during the dot com boom but what has Cuban really done since that time (besides buying up sports teams etc.)? Cuban also has made a quasi-fool of himself by apparently being caught off guard by Facebook (when its obvious to any good businessperson that FB is going to do what’s in FB’s shareholders best interest).
