The very first company I started failed with a great bang. The second one failed a little bit less, but still failed. The third one, you know, proper failed, but it was kind of okay. I recovered quickly. Number four almost didn’t fail. It still didn’t really feel great, but it did okay. Number five was PayPal.

Ignore your mistakes. The number one thing to worry about is -Am I doing what I’m good at?
A classic engineering mistake and one I’ve made is confusing what is hard and what is valuable.
