That's called outcome based thinking and is a big no-no for people who make difficult decisions under incredible uncertainty. The decision to fire Steve Jobs at the time was a good decision - and his later success is as indicative of bad decisions as a teacher giving a detention to someone who goes on to succeed later in life. The student may or may not become a genius but at the time of the detention he was still acting like an incredibly distracting tool.

#8I was bored one night and found this on Netflix. It's actually a pretty good telling of the beginnings of VC. And it's pretty entertaining even if you're not into this sort of subject matter.

#10I think 'forgotten' should be removed from the thread title. Linkbaity. This is a fairly well known doc.
