A startup is the largest endeavor over which you can have definite mastery. You can have agency not just over your own life, but over a small and important part of the world. It begins by rejecting the unjust tyranny of Chance. You are not a lottery ticket.

The very worst of my vices and bad habits will abate of themselves if they are brought to an accounting every day.
