The Standard: Ed Catmull

Stumbled upon this article about Ed Catmull in The Standard, "China's Business Newspaper." I found it interesting to see this covered in an English language business paper based in China. I enjoyed the article, and I really like the Ed-isms, with which I agree strongly.

"Pixar people frequently recite Ed- isms:

Ed believes that you should always hire people who are smarter than you.
Ed believes it's more important to invest in good people than good ideas.
Ed believes that you learn by making mistakes and that success often disguises problems.
Ed believes that magic happens when you don't operate out of fear."
