Ah, but think of all the stuff you already know that does not work.
It's like the search for a lightbulb filament, you've probably learned more trying out that stuff than you'd have ever learned if your first trick had taken off. You are so much better prepared to really make a go of it once you find a live one.

I love the spirit . What you become while reaching a goal is more important than where you reach in the end.

It's not high enough, change it to 930th and it would be an obvious exaggeration.

You know, I think there is a lot of value in what you are saying. I mean literally what you are saying... "93 is believable". And you know what, you are right! I think that's a great startup lesson... 93 is believable!
I like that! I will take your advice.
What I mean is that I am an aspiring web developer that happened to come from a non-related previous background. I chose not to go to college and after deciding to be a web developer, I just taught myself by building and building and building and building. I learned how to program horribly in PHP, and then I found Kohana and jquery which helped me code decently, and about 2 months ago I committed to learning Rails, built 3 Rails apps (including this one) and now I'd like to believe I'm pretty good!
Don't feel bad for me, because I love it! Thanks
