When I designed projects in college, he said, let's sell it.

If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you'll develop skills that other professionals don't have.

Don't worry that you can't seem to come up with sure billion dollar winners at first. Just do projects for yourself for fun. You'll get better and better.

Your first projects aren't the greatest things in the world, and they may have no money value, they may go nowhere, but that is how you learn - you put so much effort into making something right if it is for yourself.

My first transistor radio was the heart of my gadget love today. It fit in my hand and brought me a world of music 24 / 7.

My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
