On-screen text
YOU HAVE TO DECIDE
ABOUT YOUR FUTURE
THAN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE
THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
SOMEONE'S VERSION OF YOU
HAS TO DIE.
IT'S EITHER YOUR
DESIRED VERSION OF YOU
OR SOMEONE ELSE'S
DESIRED VERSION OF YOU.
AND THE THING IS,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITH YOU
A LOT LONGER THAN THEY ARE.
I THINK EVERYTHING
OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
WHICH IS FEAR.
TO BE AFRAID,
LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF RISK.
THERE'S A TON OF UNKNOWN.
THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
BUT THE ONLY THING
I CAN ALSO SAY IS THAT
IT ALSO PUTS YOU
AS EVERY OTHER PERSON
WHO STARTED
THEY DIDN'T KNOW,
TO KNOW IS TO START
