When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again. - Steve Jobs
The sacrifice you and your families have made is not lost on me. Thank you.
”…And when he gets to Heaven,
to Saint Peter he will tell;
One more soldier reporting sir,
I’ve spent my time in hell.”
Running a startup is like being punched in the face repeatedly, but working for a large company is like being waterboarded.
- Paul Graham
