I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.

I wish I had this committed to memory for all the times a fellow startup guy complains about how “tough” it is to have a job where they are in a startup, building things they believe in, with people they respect, but have some such problem like the lack of unqualified success. It’s Xmas, take a moment to be thankful, then get back to building.
