Thanks for the article, you are quite right. Even though, as a general policy, people try to evangelise as much about their startup. It just never made sense to me. I learned this while finding myself penniless and jobless in China at 20, I knocked doors but opened my way through the jungle silently. I am learning it now with my startup, that we need to approach the right doors at the right time. Knock too early and you just waste your energy.

That’s part of Chinese Tao philosophy. The drunk master who wanders around town yet keeps his mastery hidden from everyone. Once in a while, when the time is right, he strikes with the perfect stroke and reveals what he’s been learning while pretending to be a drunkard. That is my inspiration Excluding the alcohol part! :)
