"Hard means worry: if you're not worrying that something you're making will come out badly, or that you won't be able to understand something you're studying, then it isn't hard enough."

The world's most valuable companies started with someone obsessively curious about a problem no one else cared about—until the answer changed everything. Great questions > right answers 💡

Curiosity + Passion + Perseverance are what is needed to build a successful Startup. Luck, Timing, etc., are all uncontrollable factors.

When your work becomes the center of your curiosity, you'll never work a day in your life.

If you rely only on discipline, you’ll burn out. If you rely on curiosity, you’ll build forever.

This is exactly why the best founders are insatiably curious. They dont just ask questions they obsess over finding the right ones to pursue

curiosity without demand testing is just building blind. find your real users first. build smarter.

Couldn’t agree more… I often say - you know who were the most disciplined? The slaves… It’s an overused term by the hustle culture which means very little .. also a lot in certain circumstances.
