This is not true. No matter how many different teams I try out for, I as a 51 year old short male with a limp will never be a star basketball player or ever make it to even the D leagues.

There are plenty of people who tried repeatedly to “succeed” in their own company and failed. Let’s say I did try to start my own company at 22 10x and spent 3 years at each one. I’m now 52 and would have been better off just working those 30 years and saving and investing with a lot less stress

I think the level of success one wants also require having a check for delusion and realism. If a "51 year old short limp" thinks they are going to be a star basketball player, they are delusional and no longer realistic.

		How many people right here on HN have you seen over the years who built something and have no idea about marketing or a go to market strategy or knew anything about sales? That’s the equivalent of a 51 year old with a limp not being self award enough to know that I don’t have the skills to be a basketball player just because I can dribble.
