There is this great article on Make Magazine called "Why Those Kids from Podunk Are Keeping You Down"
And it says something in the lines, "So they made something cooler than yours, so what? It wasn't you anyways". And I belive its true, most Successful guys are just "lucky" (paraphrasing Sarah Lacy's book "Once you are Lucky, twice you are good") so there is no point in comparing yourself to them, you should use them as inspiration and not exacly as role models. For example, I really liked this Dustin Moskowitz (Facebook co-founder) answer when asked about the Social Network Movie: "It is interesting to see my past rewritten in a way that emphasizes things that didn't matter [...] A lot of exciting things happened in 2004, but mostly we just worked a lot and stressed out about things" http://www.quora.com/What-does-Dustin-Moskovitz-think-of-the... So at my 27 years old, I may not be Mark Zuckerberg or even the more cooler and loved Matt Mullenweg, but I know that reading about them and how they think make me think different too; that somehow by entreprenurship there is a way to change this world and though it's really hard, I know that now I can't stop trying. |
