I've been thinking a lot about this as well. Once you start meeting people and seeing the reality behind the media, you realize that "great" outcomes in startups are rarely perfect (acquihire forced by investors, over-dilution, etc.) and that things aren't always going as well as people say.

In reality, being happy seems to be the hardest thing to achieve, but I'm starting to think that is what success really is.
