"There is no answer to The Struggle, but here are some things that helped me."
-Ben Horowitz
Being an entrepreneur is not an easy task. There may be good times, but there are probably going to be way more bad times.
"But you knew the job was dangerous when you took it. Everybody makes mistakes. Every CEO makes thousands of mistakes. Evaluating yourself and giving yourself an “F” doesn’t help.
Remember that this is what separates the women from the girls. If you want to be great, this is the challenge. If you don’t want to be great, then you never should have started a company."
A similar philosophy could be applied to many difficult situations in life.
