  1. You made a throwaway account just to say this? 2. You obviously missed the lesson of this story, which I won't repeat b/c other commentors here have done a great job explaining it. There is actually a valuable lesson to be learned that you can apply to your life to achieve better results. As an entrepreneur, when I came across this story a year ago in the book version, it was a huge insight and relief. I used to wallow in self pity about all the crap I had to suffer through, but after I read it, I stopped worrying about those silly things and just focused instead on executing. It's a night and day mental shift and it has not only massively reduced my stress level, but also resulted in better performance.

    Furthermore, even if you already know this lesson, hearing it again can help you get into the same mindset. Kind of like listening to Eye of the Tiger to do a workout.
