I don't mean to be overly harsh, but I cannot figure out what's going on half of the time in this post. I get the breezy style and all that, but I'm not sure what happened or what the lessons are that we can take away from those things... that happened...

Edit: I noticed there is a Czech version of the post, perhaps it's just a lost-in-translation thing.

I completely disagree, I think the manner in which the author shared this story is full of the sort of insight (and emotion) that is often left out of these stories.

This is a human story, not a manifesto or technical thesis. For someone like me who has attempted similar, and have failed similarly, its good simply to know I'm not alone in the emotional roller-coaster these scenarios create. I find it kind of inspirational how he found meaning from seemingly banal events and comical misfortune.

Had to reply to my own post. After reading the rest of these threads.. damn people, you are so cold. Lol. Sounds like the lot of you jaded old know-it-alls. You forget that once upon a time, you too knew nothing about starting a business. Some of the criticism here has been constructive, and kudos to those who took the effort to comment something thoughtful.

The author made some mistakes, maybe a lot of mistakes, but we all have, and we all will. I'm very happy for you all for your "better" methods for success though :).

Thank you kind stranger! :)

I agree - I have no idea what this guy is doing. I didn't bother finishing it as he's so all over the place...

Hm :/ that's really possible. I wrote it for Czech startup scene not for international and obviously it makes more sense here then out there.
