Who Is an Ideal Cofounder
at 0:05
Answer
Don’t partner with cynics and pessimists, their believes are self-fulfilling. Pessimists will drag you down and will prevent you from doing something great. To create things you have to be a rational optimist, seeing the world for what it is, but also being optimistic about your capabilities to make an impact. Lead, follow, or get out of the way, those are the only options.
