Why to startup? Why not?

I think there should be an option to down-vote stuff like this.

Asking others for reasons/motivation to pursue a startup won't do you any good if you can't find those same things from within.

Reasons for me: The experience and thrill. Knowing that you can create something of your own from scratch, nurture it, and watch it grow, possibly yielding huge results.

I'm not sure if you're looking for any 'secrets' or what have you. The benefits/disadvantages seem pretty obvious.

read this and then decide for yourself.
