I'm not the person you're replying to, but I read these two paragraphs and wanted to reply.

> I mean instead of playing playstation 3 days in a row, Why can't I convince this people to code? I know they want it, but they have pressure from they family and friends.

> I want to know if this happens in SV as well or is it because I am not in SV. People here are not trained to invest time in what they love. There is not entrepreneurial spirit.

In my experience (and I'm a sample of one, so this isn't scientific), about 1% of the people who say they're entrepreneurial are actually willing to put in the time it takes.

I don't think this is so much geography or culture as it is human nature. Entrepreneurship is hard and entrepreneurs are cut from a different cloth. Some might even say we're a little off...

Have a wonderful holiday season and best of luck!! I'll be hoping for big things for you in the year ahead.
