Thank you I needed to read this, very well put and wonderful advice!

Regarding your first point: I am still not sure if I'm cut out for startups / the hustle. But I've made some of these mistakes and I'm glad I did. Because that seems to be the only way I have gained some insight into what kind of a person I am.

Now I'm on the lookout for opportunities and people who compliment my strengths / weaknesses.
