Unfortunately this is the "dark side" of entrepreneurship, and people show be made more aware of it.

We all love to open HN and read the new PG essay and dream "I am the one", but the odds are not in our favor.

The extreme survivorship bias also doesn't help. But honestly, I don't know what the ideal solution is.

Even though I read stories like these, hear all about how the odds are stacked against, how difficult and hard it can be, I keep wondering a simple "What if?".

I guess you could say that there can be a 100 reasons not to do something, and yet one good reason why is more than enough to offset the 100 bad ones.
