I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance... Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up.

As much as we may be a country of compassion for the underdog, we are also a country that believes in self-reliance.
