This is my go-to video when I need inspiration. Really opened up my mind when I first watched it a couple of years ago.

I'm guessing the down votes are because people think I'm being sarcastic?? I'm not.

Anyone know what this is and why it's blurred out? http://imgur.com/yi0sCEC

Also, videos are not playing right for me on firefox (audio only).

I'm applying to the summer batch, and I just noticed my company may fit into an RFS. Anybody have experience applying with RFS? Would it be better to just apply without it, and let YC make the connection?

I think the problem being addressed in the article is not about wanting to be rich, but rather the question "how much is enough?"

For example, in the movie "Wallstreet", Gordon Gecko gets asked this same question, but he can never truly answer it. If a man who gets to his position, makes millions of dollars, and has the mental capacity to make a ton of business decisions daily, can't answer this simple question- that's definitely a problem.

Surely, for the average person $1.5 million is considered "rich". To keep making money for the sake of making money, is clearly an addiction, which (as mentioned in the article) is supported by our culture of excess.
