First of all, good luck on your new life. I quit my job last year to do music (sounds crazy, and it actually is a bit) so I know your feeling. Here's some advice though. Asking to wish you luck sounds like you're not entirely confident about your decision. Furthermore, posting here on HN makes it look you've already achieved something, but it's really just the beginning. Whenever I intent to do something important, I never tell anyone in advance. It's not about fearing to be looked at as a failure in other's eyes. It's about not considering taking a decision as an achievement. It's like when someone decides to work out to lose some pounds and tell everyone 'Hey, I just bought a new running outfit, check it out!' thinking 'Wow, I've done it!' when they actually haven't done anything yet. I care about what I've done, not about what I've said I would do. So I keep things to myself until I've got something concrete to show. I'm sorry if I sound harsh, especially when I don't know anything about your situation. I just wanted to say to stay focused, and to find motivation within yourself first and foremost. Your decision is a great one, but it's just the start.
