As much as people like to believe that working hard and not giving up will get them through, there's other reasons:
- The market wasn't there, the problem was too hard to solve, etc.
- You simply weren't good enough to solve the problem. You didn't have the right combination of skills, experience, or connections to make it happen.
These are more interesting to me as you can attempt to succeed where other people have failed. I've always had an idea in the back of my mind about getting a list of startups that failed before 2001, figuring out which had good ideas, then retrying them again.

- tluyben2 14y agoHe Pud! Always thought it was a damned shame you didn't continue fuckedcompany.com through the next crisis(es). Why was that? It was great fun reading that (and seeing pr0n stars with tight fuckedcompany t-shirts).
