Honest question: Are you mentioning this because you agree with him (that startups require a lot from anyone), or because you want to contrast that not everyone "has as many cards" as that founder?
- jdtang13 9y agoI only mention this quote because it sheds some light on how a very privileged person might still legitimately think of themselves as struggling and suffering when making a startup.
- hyperdimension 9y agoI always think of everyone having their own personal spectrum, ranging (crudely) from the most positive experience they've had, to the worst. Any new situation encountered by someone is judged relatively, based on their own personal spectrum. My point being that someone can honestly believe they are suffering at least relatively, if not absolutely. Each person has their own level of experience they consider "suffering".
