I understand this is not in line with the hn planability mindset, but there is some truth to that stody. I am also follow this idea - you need ambitious projects which have a low predictability of success. But if you try often/hard enough occasionally one actually works out. To me this makes life a lot more exciting than working/achieving small predictable goals. Life is too short to play it save.
- borroka 9y agoI agree. When they ask me where I see myself in 5 years, I answer that while I appreciate where the question is coming from, my life was so different since 5 years ago and the changes have been so unexpected, that I would lie to you and myself if I gave you the impression of having any sort of roadmap. Being very competitive and quite unsatisfied is enough for pushing forward.
- cryptica 9y agoI don't understand why people down-vote my comments whenever I emphasise the importance of luck in everything. I worked bastard hard for almost 10 years with no social life and was making $0. I'd love to be able to say that it was all hard work and will power that eventually got me though but it just feels like a lie. If I am to really succeed, I'll do it whilst being honest with myself.
