The best founders are the ones that suffered and prevailed.
It is not easy to build a large, high-output business.

Cancer can be a force. Betrayal can be a force.
Your tears of suffering are fertile ground for your heart, as better times will blossom.
Anger can be quite positive if channeled properly.

Suffering is the fastest way to progress.
See reality for what is, not for what you want it to be.
"The best revenge is massive success."
— Frank Sinatra
