> in anticipation of a tiny chance to be wealthy
It isn't tiny in the case of Octopart or the audience I was addressing. They've all been selected out of a much larger pool. For them the odds might be as high as 50%.

I'm going to have to disagree with the majority of fanboys here and say that I (still) disagree with Paul's premise that a good way to spend your life is to be miserable in anticipation of a tiny chance to be wealthy. I'd rather enjoy my job every day instead of live in the kind of environment where failure would be synonymous with my actual death. Many great things have come of "failure."
