So you basically say that becoming a doctor or an astronaut is easy and doesn't require "ambition".

I'm sorry I can't agree with that. Maybe as a former VC-backed founder you'd like to have the monopoly of ambition but there are many many ways to be ambitious. For some it's just be able to run 5km after being overweight for decades, for others it's changing the world with a vaccine.



How anybody can equate becoming a doctor with becoming an astronaut is just beyond me. How many doctors are there in this world? How many astronauts? Ballpark answers to those two simple questions should be enough to understand they require vastly different levels of ambition...
