2017 remind me that life can punch harder than anybody, it can hit hard professionally, financially, and at the personal level. You are not entitled to anything in life, you are not entitled to recognition, to success, to health or happiness. It reminded me that it takes so much work, so much pain, and so much luck to build something; and yet so little to see it crumble apart. It also reminded that pain is temporary, no matter how long it last; you have to keep pushing forward. Pain is temporary, but quitting lasts forever. In order to succeed you have to be willing to left everything on the table, to bet everything; to do whatever it takes to have a chance to achieve your dreams.
