I absolutely agree with Mr. Rao. I found a longer 50 min version on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u20vVbhpM50

I am in the process of starting a business and I find it crucial for our culture to strife for improving the current situation not strife for a particular state.

What I mean is, when you define success for your product/service as the state where it has those 3 features and fulfills those 2 metrics. Those 3 features is the best your application will ever get. Instead one must focus on making the application better every day. Requirements change, competitors emerge, users don't care about your features. I encourage everyone I work with to start their day with only one question in mind; How can I make our service the best it can be, today?
