vkdeltaon Ask HN: I'd like to learn how to tell stories better to friends

Join the group and see if you can tell your stories to the world. See their YouTube channels

Read this book: “how to tell a story” https://themoth.org/how-to-tell-a-story

Other idea is to join a local toastmasters group to boost your public speaking skills. One of the most underrated but the most life lasting skill.

Good luck!

vkdeltaon Ask HN: How did Sam Altman fail upward so well?

http://www.paulgraham.com/5founders.html?viewfullsite=1

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/10/sam-altmans-ma...

and most importantly, from http://www.paulgraham.com/fundraising.html

'At YC we spend a lot of time trying to predict how the startups we've funded will do, because we're trying to learn how to pick winners. We've now watched the trajectories of so many startups that we're getting better at predicting them. And when we're talking about startups we think are likely to succeed, what we find ourselves saying is things like "Oh, those guys can take care of themselves. They'll be fine." Not "those guys are really smart" or "those guys are working on a great idea." [6] When we predict good outcomes for startups, the qualities that come up in the supporting arguments are toughness, adaptability, determination. Which means to the extent we're correct, those are the qualities you need to win. 'Investors know this, at least unconsciously. The reason they like it when you don't need them is not simply that they like what they can't have, but because that quality is what makes founders succeed. 'Sam Altman has it. You could parachute him into an island full of cannibals and come back in 5 years and he'd be the king. If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them. (He wasn't, and he did.) Not everyone has Sam's deal-making ability. I myself don't. But if you don't, you can let the numbers speak for you.'

He is also from early batch of YC who co-incidently were very intimately connected with PG.

someone above said zuck was pretty much "luck" which I dont think is true. Even though you might hate him for a lot of things, he is pretty darn smart.

edit add "luck"
