So one could found a startup, win lottery or inherit a fortune. And lose everything in the end. On the other hand, it could be about doing something useful or learning…

I think this is a very important point. I do agree there is a trade off between innovation and optimization; between creating the future, and doing things that ensure you can survive to be around for that future (i.e. not throwing away your main business lines that bring in the majority of the cash flow for that company).

I think it’s worth nothing that while all successful entrepreneurs trust themselves to figure things out, the reverse is not necessarily the case.
Trusting yourself to figure things out is the first step, it’s not the only factor that will determine if you are successful.
The rhyme doesn’t hurt either =)
Best summary I ever read re why there’s so much shoddy content: Because it’s easy, cheap, and because it doesn’t require a whole lot of thinking. It also explains why so many people use stock images that have little or nothing to do with the written content. They don’t work, they hurt your credibility, but hey, you can’t beat the price. Attn: the road to success is not paved with shortcuts.
It’s a harsh truth, but life isn’t all good.You WILL go through good periods.You WILL go through bad periods.
