Thank you. I'm glad it meant something to you. TO tell the truth I was a mess the first week after deciding to shut down. No matter how many ways I could "prove" to my self I was doing the right thing, it still felt horrible. I'm better now, and this discussion on HN -- even those who disagree with me -- really helps. |

Risk aversion is NOT bad. For 1 success they are hundreds of failures. Even though I accepted the game, it retrospectively feels like going for business is signing a pact with the devil. Either you win, and it is okay, or you lose and damages are doubled since your are marked with the seal of failure.
We live in a time where people want heroes and success stories, not reasonable persons that are boringly facing uncertainty.
When you take a risk of winning, you also take a risk of losing.
My epitaph will tell: "Si l'échec est la meilleure manière d'apprendre alors de mon vivant, j'ai vaincu Karpov et Kasparov".
