The Fear of Taking the 1% Path Why do people fear doing what 99% of others avoid? Because when you choose a different path, failure becomes louder, and criticism sharper. Society asks, "Why didn’t you follow the safe route? Why try to stand out when the perfect, proven path already exists?" But here's the truth: following the crowd may feel safe, but it rarely leads to greatness. The 1% path is hard, yes, but even in failure, it teaches you resilience, creativity, and courage—qualities the 99% may never experience. So, the question isn’t, “Why be different?” but rather, “Why settle for average?”

"Would you trust a failed founder with your money—again?" Most people shy away from failure, but not venture capitalists. Many VCs are willing to back the same founders who’ve failed before. Why? Because failure isn’t the end; it’s a masterclass
