I especially liked the following quote: "The biggest threat to any startup isn't running out of money -- it's going out of your mind. "

  It's a risk that comes with the territory it seems. To be able to start a startup you already have to be a bit out of your mind. You have to massively underestimate how hard the problem is and you have to massively overestimate your own ability to tackle it. And then you have to persevere once you have come to fully appreciate these facts. I'm pretty sure that any successful entrepreneur has been in a situation where he/she said to themselves "Now why did I think this was a good idea again ?". Then they got up and worked/bulldozed their way out of it.
