Travis Kalanick says entrepreneurs need pissed-off energy:
"When you get into your 3rd and 4th, this may be even my 5th at this point, company, you get fricking really good at doing stuff."
"Things that used to take me a day or 3 days, a lot of stress, anxiety, like how am I gonna do this, take me like 45 minutes."
"I'm so used to adversity at this point that it's kind of normal, so I don't get as pissed off. But being pissed off makes you good as an entrepreneur, so I gotta make sure I'm still fired up."
"You get too used to adversity, and that's kind of a problem."

I got into @ycombinator
I'm 18, solo founder, and 3 years ago was studying 10th grade at a random city in Iran (Qazvin, love it).
In Iran, I had to build my own VPN to access UK curriculum material, then got myself into a boarding school in Oxford, paid the tuition by selling my AI thing, and then got a full-ride to study AI at Rice University.
After I got in the US I did some more things that led to Magma.
I don't have much to say for advice as I'm unlearning a lot recently. However, as an observation, the laws of physics seem to be flexible enough that you can simply do things; anything in fact. Human brain just evolutionarily underestimates that flexibility.
PS: Repost and I'll send you the full application that got me in.
The best way to communicate with the world is directly in your own words, not through the reality distortion nightmare mirror that is the legacy mainstream press
