Startups, much like rockstars, often attract critics rather than admirers. When a business owner emphasizes the importance of hard work for a better future, some people interpret it as an attack on their comfort.
Ironically, many of these critics are the same ones staying up late watching TV, yet bristling at the idea of productivity
When someone dares to innovate, all eyes focus on the flaws. Yes, their creation might not be perfect, but that’s how progress happens—step by step.
It’s amusing how we mock these efforts while still relying on our own outdated, glitchy devices.
Take food delivery apps, for instance. A bad meal arrives, and suddenly, it’s as if the CEO personally botched the cooking. If your fries are cold, shouldn’t the restaurant shoulder the blame instead of the app? Constructive feedback is fine, but let’s be fair and logical.
And late-night meetings? Some argue that founders should stick to a 9-to-5 routine, complete with a coffee break at 11 a.m.
But innovation, emergencies, and growth don’t operate on a schedule. Yet, critics demand perfection while expecting founders to work only within set hours.
Mistakes aren’t failures; they’re valuable lessons. Instead of tearing down those who strive to create, let’s pause and appreciate their efforts.
Mocking from the sidelines is easy. The real challenge lies in building something extraordinary.
