> But always remember, romanticizing hard work only does good for society but very rarely for the individual. As someone who ran two failed startups, it's all about perspective. I gave up a ton to build and run my companies, and failed, but in no way do I regret it, or consider it a sacrifice. The amount that I learned, the people that I met, the skills that I developed, I'd never get from working a regular job. (I wrote a mini-postmortem[1] for my last startup.) There is huge personal value in taking big risks and doing difficult things even when you fail.
