My old boss told me this quote and I've always loved it. When the self-made millionaire was asked what he'd do differently if he got to do it all over again, he responded "I'd ask for help."
I kept reading just to understand why anyone would willingly walk around, all the time, looking like this:<p><a href="http://estb.msn.com/i/AB/E27F92B0A904EC9D92B8EE897D0B4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://estb.msn.com/i/AB/E27F92B0A904EC9D92B8EE897D0B4.jpg</a><p>I also wondered how he'd eat and talk and sleep. I didn't understand what it had to do with startups and hurricanes.<p>It took a while until I realized that that's not what "wearing a disco ball" means in NY.
It says a lot about the endurance of the human spirit that in the midst of a catastrophe like Sandy, you still found the inner strength to chug a gallon of milk like a true meathead frat boy and presumably upload it straight to Facebook.<p>The disco ball is fitting, I think. You should keep wearing it.
I just read this moments after giving in, allowing my dad to take a 401k loan in exchange for the title to my car (I insisted) to help me pay rent and keep my startup dreams afloat a cpl more months. Humility doesn't come easy for some of us. Thank you for sharing Will. I really needed to read this today.
