> I don't think people with low expectations start companies. Certainly those with low expectations don't rise and achieve greatness. I think this is a common misinterpretation of "expectations", to the point that it honestly just isn't a very clear way to make the point he's making. Here's a restatement of your quote that I would agree with: > I don't think people with limited aspirations start companies. Certainly those with limited aspirations don't rise and achieve greatness. But aspiration is not the same as expectation. It is perfectly plausible - and indeed, I agree with Huang, increases the likelihood of success - to shoot for the stars while expecting to miss.
