Constraints will make you Awesome

I agree with this:

"Many barriers are in our heads and only in our heads. Don’t let your constraints stop you. Embrace them. You don’t need to be a genius, or own lots of money, or be networked with key people, or be skillful, funny, or good-looking to meet your goals. The ones who were remarkable in life were those who understood their limitations and bent them to their advantage."

I do believe, it is the sustained attempts at overcoming constraints and often overcoming them, that makes a person or company awesome.

"Necessity, who is the mother of invention." -Plato

That said, I'm not sure awesomeness is a function of constraint. Most of the awesome people I know succeed in spite of rather than because of the constraints placed upon them. In this case, I wonder what would happen if they swapped PCs for a week?
