bfffan··on Ask HN: Looking back, what have you wasted lots of time on?
I have wasted a lot of time trying to develop people that are content. I tried to invest in them because I wasn't where I wanted to be and was unhappy with myself so I thought everyone was unhappy. I've realized that many people in my immediate network don't know what they're missing because they don't know what's possible. So instead of focusing on my own race, I was lugging dead weight across the finish line while people were stopping to ties their shoes or drinking water. I was moving about unsatisfied until I found startup school and see that I could bumble around in the dark until I find success. I wasted a lot of time preparing for success and researching and planning. I wanted to "get it right" but I had no barometer to measure success.
