The difficult thing is seeing the forest from the trees. It's great that some advice worked for a particular person in a particular situation. It's impossible to have principal component analysis of what really worked. It's even more depressing to see what a large role that randomness plays in lives and careers. E.g., if Yahoo had bought out Larry & Sergey for a million, would their advice be worth more than now? If Steve Jobs never returned to Apple?
