𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟴𝟬-𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗝𝗲𝗳𝗳 𝗕𝗲𝘇𝗼𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 In 1994, Jeff Bezos had a high-paying Wall Street job at D.E. Shaw. Life was good. Then, he got an idea—an online bookstore. When he told his boss, David Shaw, the response was logical: "It’s a good idea, but better for someone without a great job." Most people would have stayed. Why risk everything for the unknown? But Bezos thought differently. He used what he later called the Regret Minimization Framework—a simple question: "When I’m 80, will I regret not doing this?" The answer was clear: If he tried and failed? No regrets. If he never tried? It would haunt him forever. So, he quit. Started Amazon. Changed history. Now, think about your own life: Are you stuck in comfort because it’s safe? Will your future self regret not taking the leap? Failures fade. Regrets last forever. When in doubt, take the 80-Year-Old Test. Your future self will thank you. Follow Vishu Bheda for more valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!

When your obsession isn't strong enough to cause compulsion, you end up having regrets. I know those out there struggling to follow their hearts are suffering. Have faith! At least you won't have the pain of regret.
