> That sort of thing can lead to looking back twenty years, thinking, "Why on Earth did I waste all that time? "waste" is subjective. Twenty years of your life working 100 hours a week in startups? Twenty years of your life traveling the world with a low paying job? A particular path being appealing to you doesn't necessarily make other paths bad. > Most people don't have the nerve to even look what they want in the eye. Sure. Imagine the man who doesn't accept that all he wants is a stable job which will let him spend more time with his family. Instead, he works at a tiny company day in and day out, dreaming of the big payoff (with paid dinners).
