As a young man still in college who wants to build something, this was very inspiring. Especially this line:
The only way to know how good you might be at something is to fail trying it.
Great post. I'm bookmarking it.

- knieveltech 15y agoIt is worth keeping in mind that pithy little catch phrases like this typically ignore the fact that failure can come with some life-altering consequences. It seems like nobody wants to talk about filing for bankruptcy after running up a quarter of a mil in combined school loans and credit card debt.
