There is an old saying in my home country that basically says, "getting your hair wet.". The idea is that as you are washing your hair, you will slowly come to a point when you have shampoo on your head. That's when you know you are fully committed and there is only one acceptable outcome, otherwise you look silly no matter how much you try to explain your predicament. In my experience as an entrepreneur, the hard part is getting to that point of no return and the even harder part is to get out. Most people who wants to be entrepreneur but never do is because they are too rational to put themselves in that predicament. But as Yoda would say, "you do or you don't, but you must get wet first." I love this article. Good luck everyone.



> Try not. Do or do not, there is no try

Is what the Jedi master said (RIP).


You're correct ... Try not. Wet or no wet. There is no dry.

I knew something was lost in translation ... ;-)


Sorry if I came across as the comic book guy from the Simpsons


You were the perfect straight man. Thanks.
