#2"I spent 6 months working on the product without making a single penny, seeing my savings shrink every day. I remember one early morning when I was walking on the street and met a sweeper and I thought to myself 'what a happy guy, he works and gets paid every month.'"
I say the same to myself when I see the garbage man on Monday mornings. I thought I was the only one.
