Reading guide
The post quotes Mao Daqing: “Entrepreneurship is an endless journey.” Like travel, it has no end. For someone who loves travel, curiosity never runs out. Setting out is the beginning; returning does not mean the end, only a rest before the next departure. The first step on the entrepreneurial journey is to treat every rejection as an opportunity. Robin adds that when facing setbacks, it is better to spend time doing something more valuable than complaining or blaming the external environment.
