Richard decided not to sell the original compression algorithm to the tech giant Hooli (safely take the money and run away), but to start his own company (high risk, high return, full of unknowns), worried that he would be opposed by the strong roommate + the landlord Erlich. But was fed a bowl of chicken soup. When you are young, if there is something you really want to do, but if you don't do it, you will be very itchy, then do it bravely! Even if you fail, take a detour, and waste your time, you can at least fill the "what if" hole, and you will not be restless because of the shortcomings.

No one can give you effective guidance unless you know what you are doing.

Erlich Bastards, the law of the jungle in the adult world. . .

"He knows who, when and how to be a jerk"

"If you don't be a jerk, the jerk's vacuum is bound to be filled by other people"

The takeaway here is that there is no need to constantly feel uneasy about being "not nice enough". You can imagine whether the other party will make the same choice in their own position. In the case of strangers, an average situation can be assumed. Most of us don't have the energy, luck, and need to be the nicest one percent. There is no need to pay attention to other people's "not nice" evaluations of you. Many times false compliments are meaningless. On the contrary, only tough people will not suffer.
