Hehe, I can empathize with you. And Yep Failure is very much an option - most of the time it is the startup that fails, not the founder, not the team. But yet, more than anymore its those two sets of people who take it the hardest. That was the context. My mentor used to remind me often that we are the final product, and that "phase" when we are building a startup is all towards enabling the product (aka us) to grow a skillset - or a new feature, if you'd call it that. I worry when entrepreneurs and visionaries anticipate and call for a world that would embrace failure. I have no idea what that means, but failure - on a personal level - to accomplish that set task in a phase in a life, still would hurt, if not anything, just for the mere sake of the confidence and drive we put into it. But every entrepreneur worth his or her salt will survive it.
