3. Want to start a startup?
Startups are all-consuming. If you start a startup, it will
take over your life to a degree you cannot imagine.
And if your startup succeeds, it will take over your life
for a long time: for several years at the very least,
maybe for a decade, maybe for the rest of your
working life. So there is a real opportunity cost here.
Paul Graham

seem to threaten your identity: you wonder if you'd
have enough ambition to carry them through.
