"Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear."
So the fate of my company has been decided. It is acquired by a public company. A few people were laid off. I, being fortunate, was able to stay. However, this whole layoff business was too heart wrenching for me. I hope I don't have to go through it again. EVER.
Control, money, and freedom--these are three things that I would like to achieve in my career. The ultimate goal is to build an awesome web application with a few trusted individuals and then sell it for big bucks. We will have fun building something that we hope people would find useful. We will have control over our own destinies--working with people we like and building what we think are worthwhile. Selling a web application for millions of dollars are pretty normal in the web 2.0 sphere. We just need a golden idea, execute it, plus some luck and good timing, and we will be set for success.
It's fine to fail. I've helped build a social-networking site. It doesn't quite have the mass yet, and I am not sure if it ever will, but taking the first step is always important. At some point, we ought to stop dreaming and take actions. We can dream big in our minds, but dreams will never become reality if we do nothing.
