Every time when I raised this question to one of my best friends Stephanie, she would stay silent and say ”you just are”. And now, this is the 4th startup company I am contributing everything I knew, everything I have.

The endless intern hiring, trying to fill the vacancy with cheap and hopefully good labor has never been easy. Dealing with the arrogant fresh grats who always complaining the current job is too easy for them and they deserve better job title like a manager, director etc… all those fxxking ridiculous things are happening every single day.

We are fighting with the limited resources, complicated peer relations, arrogant but not really skillful peers, always daydreaming optimism etc…Still, why am I still in startups?

The satisfaction, the ownership, the ability to get something done responsibilities? Those might be the answers, but I believe the most important thing that keeps me moving was the belief that we are building a better world, no matter how less this effort would be, we are the driving engine that push it forward.
