In startup, if you fail you dont lose 4-6 years of your life. Moreover people wont consider you a failure if you fail in a startup, as opposed to say landing up in a prison.

This is such a stupid comment, I don't know where to begin. Possible attacks on your argument:

1. "set for life" - not necessarily, plus you would have to sell the drugs, etc.

2. just lose 4-6 years of your life - criminal penalties likely greater

3. horrible effects of prison on your psyche and future work possibilities

4. possible death from involvement w/ criminal underworld

5. with a start-up you get transferable experience

Other reasons why this is a stupid comment:

1. Learn to spell succeed

2. Learn to spell lose

If you are not a native speaker, I apologize for #1 but #2 can be corrected with a spellcheck plugin. But it seems like you just typed quickly without thinking your comment through.
