Are we on American Idol? I always felt pitty for those poor souls being crushed after they are told that no, they won't be winning American Idol. It felt weird because the chances are so slim that one would assume that not winning should not come as a surprise or a shocker. Still they cry. Most seemed to be convinced they were "destined" to win. That clearly can not be the case. Now, the 14,000+ companies that applied to Startup School made me think that I might be inside a similar reality distortion field. I know that in the "unicorn contest" there can be multiple winners, and that is a big difference, but at the end the chances are still so slim... |
