What he said really struck home with me, too.

"If you're interested in startups, don't sit around waiting for the perfect opportunity, just go find one that sounds interesting [...] The startup will probably fail, but you will succeed because you have learned a lot more than you otherwise would have."

It's exactly what I've heard so many successful people say.

The startup path is a scary one for me, but spending my life as a "worker bee" is even more scary somehow...
