I've never been impressed by any of the startups that are released in the last few years (YC or other wise). Including my own products. I find them run of the mill, meh kind.

The last product that I thought was cool, was Dropbox and that was a few years ago.

I was doing this judgment thing while I am trying to promote my own products. And I realize how hard it is, how difficult it is to find anyone to give a shit.

I now applaud anyone who gets a semblance of recognition or notoriety. Gimmicks or otherwise. I know how hard it is to pull those off. May be some are lucky and are born to attract the world towards them. But most are not.

There must have been an incredible amount of sacrifice, self doubt and disappointment that I do not know about.

I now celebrate every one's victories, no matter how small they are. I know how hard they are to come by.
