Paul Graham on Twitter: "Most people are too conservative most of the time, even startup founders. Now they're forced not to be, and it turns out there was more room there than they thought."

  I think if you really love what you do then rationality steps aside and that's when crisis actually boosts creativity

  In our case, it’s the combo of having a latent level of resourcefulness that we didn’t realize, & sudden emergence of new need to create (& preserve) profound value. The landscape changed, & then somehow we did in a week what should have taken us months. https://guidepostmontessori.com/programs/emergency-care …

  So true. It's been interesting to see ex-colleagues and the unemployed approach me for guidance and work, now that I changed my LinkedIn title to Founder. It's given me the courage and responsibility to innovate and make it happen for them.

  Paul, I had this awareness a few weeks ago as I was filling the YC application for W20: my past failures were actually "goals too small" in disguise. Now that I'm aiming high, I'm always at the edge of my competence. It's having the opposite effect: I'm making huge progress.
