Running a successful, growing company in Silicon Valley can create an ironic sort of depression and delusion. The better you're doing, the higher the stakes, and higher expectations for you to win.

I don't know about you, but I've saved cards that old high school flames wrote me as well as those that employees have written me over the years.
