I read it very long ago. However, my feeling was that it's for VC funded companies and only companies who are looking to become a billion dollars corporation whereas personally, I would have been happy with the multi-million business
another thing i'm looking to implement is getting into habit of forced submission of self to my will. I witnessed it in religious context, but the idea is that daily suppression of small desires, and performing small "work" like tasks increases self control. There is a cultural equivalent of this called dopmaine fast. Which is similar to fasting religiously.
something i consider to be a case to, from previous comment:
I have this suspicion that often people who thrive at "school" suck at doing things, their whole life they are getting programmed to:
a) do things for an quick and clear reward
b) always be in extremely well defined rules (when semester starts you see how people obsess over edge cases and their impact on grade with a professor)
c) always do it for pleasing someone else and get their admiration (teachers, parents, peers, etc)
d) only be motivated by fear
In a way the better you adapt to that system the more 'slave' minded you become and only do what is asked, when rewarded, given clear instructions and a threat of leashes is near. Often Top students in HS end up mediocre at college and life.
Lack of motivation plagues them all life as they have no clear guidelines, external threats, or third person providing validation.
if you asked 16 years old me why are you studying so hard, the lie would be the whole story so i can do get into college get a job etc... truth would have been so i can look good and be admired
no people had good understanding, or consistent explanations. Thunder = angry God. Sickness/diseases natural things but curable with leaves and herbs sometimes. Rain another natural gift from God. Also you seek answers to question that are new, not something you grew up with. Did you when woke up question why air is less dense than water? No! Does it bother you why sunlight is so bright? no it's just a matter of fact.
