So You Want to Start a Web Start-up?

silly womanGoogle and Facebook’s start-up stories are almost like fairy tales. They inspired many, to the extent that they could have blinded many budding entrepreneurs. And it gets worse with the recent screening of The Social Network.

If you’re one of those who dream to build the next Google and Facebook, pinch yourself and do a reality check. It’s good to dream big, but a tad of skepticism is always good too. It brings you back to reality, exposes your weaknesses and makes you fear so much that you work extremely hard to chase your dream.

You know you’re in big trouble if you’re like the lady depicted in the video below. It’s pretty hilarious. Thanks Jonny for the heads up.
