Also on the Persistence of Entrepreneurship

I have met successful entrepreneurs and also friends who were not so successful in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Some people ask me, how can one succeed in entrepreneurship? Many say that persistence is victory, but even after persevering, why is success still unattainable?

If there's a restaurant near your house where the food is both expensive and terrible, and there are cockroaches crawling on the table, would you keep going back just because it's close and convenient? Answer: You would definitely say, what a silly question, who would be so stupid to spend money to suffer?

Many men and women have complained about their lovers or spouses having bad characters, being indecisive, and irresponsible. Knowing that staying together will lead to no good outcome, and resentment has surpassed love, but they "don't know why" they still continue the relationship and cannot break up. In reality, it's just due to unwillingness to let go, out of habit, isn't this the same as visiting that restaurant? (The Rabbit That Runs)
