Waaay too much generalization - sorry. In statistic is "Sample Frame Error". For example at 3:02 "I wish we had listened": what about the times you don't listen to an advice and things turn out just fine? Have you accounted for those? Or again how many times you don't really like something about a person but in the end things work out fine? You counting those outputs or just when things go wrong? And, really really sorry, but since I am a runner and you don't seem to be one, you should maybe ask yourself why is it that so many people who were "runners" end up with their knees or backs completely screwed up? because they never thought of having a running coach!! they though that just because they knew how to walk then they could run. There is a LOT of technique that goes into running. The fact that there are not enough running coaches relative to skiing coaches has nothing to do with one being "intuitive" and the other not.

This whole video is the answer to that problem. 1. Learn a lot about things that matter (e.g. become good at some technology) 2. Work on things that stretch you 3. Work on problems that interest you 4. With people you like and respect 5. Learn powerful things People interested in tech have an unhealthy obsession with starting a start-up. If you do the things Paul said in this lecture, they may not lead you to a startup but I can guarantee it will lead you to do work you enjoy, with people you like, on world changing ideas, whilst making decent money... start-up or no start-up is a moot point when those things are fulfilled.
