		<description>I&#039;m really enjoying reading your series though I&#039;m very far from being an entrepreneur. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s probably not the best way to do it but you&#039;ve made a couple of typos in the 4th paragraph from top:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Nobody can be super human &lt;em&gt;at&lt;/em&gt; all fronts.  Mark Zuckerberg seems to *be* (unnecessary word) me to be one of the most talented young technology professionals of his generation and seems to have an amazing vision for technology and product.&quot;</description>

		<description>Great Post.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do you think that you can be too competitive?  Is there a point where it becomes a negative?  As long as you have high moral integrity, is everything in play?</description>

		<description>I have an add on quote to the quotes at the end.. &quot;You&#039;re not in business until you have a competitor&quot;.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I get heat about this at Least once a week!!  I am SO happy for once this quality is talked about as a positive trait, not negative. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In all honesty being a former athlete too I think it definitely can get out of control, like anything, especially in the circumstance where it&#039;s an unrealistic battle to begin...like a 10 year old street basketball player playing against pros. Granted he&#039;s going to get much better faster than playing with 10 years olds but if he beats himself up too much over that fact that he&#039;s not doing good enough it&#039;ll be nothing but stress, unhappiness, and anguish.  And he can possibly get hurt playing with the &#039;big boys&#039;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But I still can&#039;t agree with the people who say being overcompetitive is a bad thing though because no matter what bruises and sleepless nights that boy may have, he&#039;ll still end up starting on his basketball team and being 10x&#039;s better than otherwise.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess what I battle with is Is the bruises and unhappiness until the time when your on top again worth it?&lt;br&gt;Is that moment of glory worth the other and extended times of stress?&lt;br&gt;This is I guess everyone&#039;s own choice though. &lt;br&gt;I know for myself I was highly competitive from young and it is not actually a choice...(it just sounds like one).&lt;br&gt;But I don&#039;t know yet how this will translate to business as this is my first true attempt!</description>
