With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution. For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.

Feedback from other people is fake. Awards are fake. Critics are fake. Real feedback comes from free markets and nature. Did your rocket launch? Did your drone fly? It’s impossible to fool Mother Nature.

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

Optimism is an important trait for so many things in life. A great career, A great company, or even a great relationship. What we think, directs the potential we see in our lives, and more importantly, it directs our actions. Be optimistic.

When I talk to students they often think that if they want to start a startup one day they should be learning about economics or finance. I tell them they should instead be learning how to build things. Building is the root.
