I would like to meet the person who have a failed startup on his account and trying the next time... many people don't even have the courage to start the first time.

"Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know."



It's me. On my second start-up now, and certainly learned a lot from the first one. Don't think you'd get that much from meeting me though - why not just start your own start-up, fail, then start again? Then you can have conversations with your ideal person-to-meet all day long for free!


great advice. will try to fail as early as possible, to start again..


As one who has failed before, I appreciate your comment. I've been involved in a few successes and a few failures, and your quote is poignant because of the number of people involved in these failures who took nothing away from it except to blame others, and that's not learning.
