The Art of the Start/Kawasaki 135 - 136

136 …a good entrepreneur or writer never lets the truth get in the way of a good lesson.

Albert Einstein was on a train. He couldn’t find his ticket after searching through all his pockets and bags. The conductor approached him and said something to the effect of,

“Dr. Einstein, everyone know who you are. We know that Princeton can afford to buy you another train ticket.”

To which Einstein replied with something along the lines of, “I’m not worried about the money. I need to find the ticket to figure out where I’m going.”

Like Einstein, you should worry not about the money, but about where you are going. If you figure out where you’re going, the money will come.
