> I was working at NASA. On the Hubble Space Telescope. I was paid to scuba dive with astronauts and build hardware that would fly in space.

In comparison, I worked lowly office jobs at Swiss insurance companies and banks. But your point is well taken. I put too much drama into my post.

OK, as another posted put it well, that line was "too melodramatic". Apologies. I do admit that I'm a bit desperate.

You just quoted my favorite Chinese saying. For the record, 千里之行，始于足下

> First, who are you accountable to? Saying "HN" is too easy. Find someone who will keep you on track with this.

Actually, I already found someone. Right before posting this. It was my motivation to "come out" in the first place.

> Second, what's your plan? Start building stuff. Starting tomorrow morning.

Damn, what can I say? Thanks man! Will take your advise to heart. My post probably came across as a bit too much whinging. Will make sure that I deliver stuff from now on, rather than empty talk.

Thanks for your concern, but I'm not depressed.

I really appreciate your kind words!

I told myself this too often. I have to succeed this time. Thanks for your support!

Yes, but so far, I literally haven't achieved anything. I'm not shooting for Google or Facebook. If only I can find a small niche market, I would be perfectly content with that.

> It is a lot easier to pull this off with a group of like-minded people, try to get a couple other people (even remote) to join you in the endeavor.

Thanks for your kind advise. This is what I intend to do. If anyone else would like to join me, please let me know. My gmail id is kungs10.
