"The point is, if you don't have this sort of desperate courage, most probably your startup won't succeed. And you cannot do that while holding on to your day job and salary."
Yeah, remember those guys who had that computer fruit company. Pear was it? Or Apple? something like that.
They had some good ideas, but because one of the founders kept working at his HP day job while designing the new company's first computer they never amounted to anything.
