I'm holding out for your autobiography. Please expand the part where you had trouble with calculus but were able to do ok in the end to at least 50 pages! Also the part where you decided to get into shape, I really cared about that. I'm personally inspired by how you didn't let the kids on your dorm stop you with their mildly disinterested comments. If you didn't let that stop you, there's no way you're going to be stopped by an under-inflated bike tire, or even as many as 3 broken spokes (not all on the same wheel of course). Where do I invest?

Was that really necessary?

  Is anything really necessary?
  - rkudeshi 16y ago
    Food, water, and sleep? (basically, everything in the lowest level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs) But fair enough. The parent comment just seemed especially excessive to me.

  Well, he does make a good point. The original post is about extremely mundane situations. Everyone not getting excited about your startup, people questioning whether or not you'll stick with cycling and your new diet? These are the hardships of life? Seriously? Sorry, I don't mean to sound rude, but the original poster needs some real world experience, and the ability to understand the commitments that come in life, before criticizing people for working the same job and living in a fish tank. We know the way out of the tank, but unlike the original poster, we know why we need to stay at times.

    You're right. However, the situations I described where not really the hardships of my life. They where just situations in which I was disappointed in other people and I just wanted to share that with you. It was initially something I had written for myself to know the real reason why I wanted to start a startup. Then I thought, why not share it?

      Why not share it? Because nobody reading it will benefit in any way, and many will be annoyed that you wasted their time, and you did waste the time of everyone reading it. Send me your email address, I'll send you a 10 paragraph rundown of the trials and tribulations of laundry day.
