PG's killer point is that the success of your startup depends on whether you can make it a success more than any other factor.
More than your technical skills, more than the economy, more than your education, more than other people's belief in you, it's your determination to overcome that makes it.
To learn what you don't know, to break down difficult obstacles and go around impassable ones, to raise investment where there was none, to build confidence where there was fear, to adjust to new conditions when existing ones change, to think of any other breakfast cereal motivational slogans that you can, eat Frosties and win.
