I believe the complete opposite. If someone is willing to buy your business, no matter the amount, it’s because it’s worth MUCH more than what they’re paying. It’s illogical for them to pay less than its real value. It’s even illogical to think they’d pay exactly what it’s worth. Why would somebody bother buying a company if they were only going to break even?

Why do you feel the need to talk about how people talk? And now you got me doing it lol. It's just something to do. we're all doing it. chill. and now you're stuck cuz if you respond to me, well is it jut an inferiority complex, need to be right?
I think I already provided that context. I dont understand why someone would talk this way because it feels like something that would satisfy the ego of a toddler. And be ingratiating at best to a well-adjusted adult. I would feel similarly if someone pinched my cheeks and said "aw arent you just a wittle cutesy-wootsy." Yet I see it used without any meaning of offense. Is it a need to be special? Do you get this ove…
There's a crucial extra factor that isn't in the original article, but ought to be: Money's ability to buy great experiences decreases as you get older. I've seen this with beach vacations, road trips to see a favorite band, fast cars, ski trips, etc. Seize the moment, friend! What you can do NOW with that 10% slice will never exactly be on your possibilities map again.
Me finding the money to climb Kilimanjaro at 23 is different than me having the money at 40 but worse knees.
Thank you for pointing this out and I hope someone formalizes it more.
TL;DR: don't be greedy, guaranteed a lot now is better than highly unlikely more in the future

Almost all startups go to zero, meaning every cent what VCs paid for stock, at any price, did not end up being worth more than they paid.
Sure, what I'm getting at is that in your hands, or in the buyer's, the value can go to zero or multiply. If they buy, it's because they assess that the chances of it multiplying are greater than it going to zero. Why sell in that case?

Maybe. But also, people are different because people are different. There's variance. Variance in the Universe is a good thing. I'm no physicist so I'm going to get this some degree of wrong but I'm pretty sure variance (of time/space) is pretty much the definition of reality.
The language topic is good too. English does have a ton of words and so it's baked in the language to be flowery, "extra" if you will. Yeah, different languages, also cool.
