"Too many founders let emotions and egos cloud a decision that is really a number crunch. Once you accept that there will always be richer and wiser people out there, you'll find that they didn't get that way by taking dumb bets."
Maybe I'll always live in a crummy apartment and have Ramen for Thanksgiving but I completely disagree with this. How I choose to spend the next 3 years of my life is hardly just a number crunch. How I spend time doesn't just have a numeric value attached to it. I respect the author's analysis and to each his own. But, for me it's much more about learning, growing and building than a straight math problem. If at the end I don't die with the most toys I'm really OK with that.
