[vip]

It hurts when reality doesn't go along with your dreams and hopes.

In domaining, tears could mean joy as well as dreams can turn into nightmares. Buying the wrong names. Selling the wrong price. I've been there, done that. I even ate my shoes several times.

But, I believe that a true winner is determined by overcoming defeats. That's why I'm going to list some of the famous quotes in domaining world for those who need inspiration.

Believe me, in domaining, ANYTHING can happen in a split second.



"Domains have and will continue to go up in value faster than any other commodity ever known to man"
-- Rick Schwartz


"They'd say (the investors), 'No one will ever have a TV and a computer in the same room,'"
-- Shelby Bonnie, CNET Co-Founder


"Another example of this is the word 'ringtones.' It is worth millions right now, but five years ago, it wasn't worth 50 bucks. If you see a trend or something that you see coming out that the next guy doesn't--spend ten bucks and buy up that name"
-- Marc Ostrofsky, President of Internet REIT


"If you ask 10 different experts, they are sure to tell you 10 different things (about domain's value)"
-- Christian Kalled, director of brokerage for Sedo North America


"We got something for $150,000. If they had wanted $5 million, I would have done it in a blink of an eye"
-- Call Tabibi, founder of UnRealEstate.com


"You are what you register"
-- Rebirth

Dotcom will become in our corporate language like Inc. or Co. or Corp. - a generic way of describing a company, in this case a company that does business on the Internet. (Clive Chajet)

The classic development questions need to be reformulated for a 21st century economy . . . will the poor continue to be left behind, will the wealth of information be hoarded by an elite? (K Y Amoako)

Broadband is like a narcotic. Once you have it, you won't be able to give it up. (Lynn Forrester)

Here's a couple that I like:

"We grew up in a working class neighborhood of Vancouver and then gradually moved to better neighborhoods, but during that transition, I saw that to really do anything, you need to not only work hard, but also think about how you work."

Kevin Ham quoted on DNJournal

“If you have the money, purchase the best domain name you can get your hands on. But remember the golden rule: a domain name is only worth what you can do with it. We've turned down $5,000,000 for PalmSprings.com and didn't think twice about it because we've monetized it so well. However, in someone else's hands, PalmSprings.com could have been parked or less developed and worth nowhere near as much. If you have the talent and vision to develop a generic mega-domain, please give people like us a call.”

David Castello

"I've decided to leave the domain business...... well......... ok nevermind I'm not leaving"
