The Anatomy of Determination September 2009 Like all investors, we spend a lot of time trying to learn how to predict which startups will succeed. We probably spend more time thinking about it than most, because we invest the earliest. Prediction is usually all we have to rely on. We learned quickly that the most important predictor of success is determination. At first we thought it might be intelligence. In most domains, talent is overrated compared to determination—partly because it makes a better story, partly because it gives onlookers an excuse for being lazy, and partly because after a while determination starts to look like talent. I can't think of any field in which determination is overrated, but the relative importance of determination and talent probably do vary somewhat. I don't mean to suggest by this comparison that types of work that depend more on talent are always more admirable. If determination is so important, can we isolate its components? Being strong-willed is not enough, however. Notes

Becoming Heroes Did you do any endurance sports at all before you have started your skateboarding journey? Dave: Not at all! But I think it’s really important to do an endurance adventure at least once in life. Do you get a lot of emails from fans and other adventurers? Dave: Yeah, I have a hall of fame folder on my laptop, where I´ve saved so far about 1500 mails from people around the world, who saw me on Social Media or at one of my talks, and set out on their own adventures afterwards. A feeling that you´re not really happy about your job, but just can´t leave, because you have to pay all your bills and other stuff. “I have 10x less money then back in my job. Who is Dave as a person now? Dave: I´ve started to feel more brave and confident about myself. Also I´m currently creating an online business, which allows me to work from any place on the planet. What was your favorite adventure so far?

De liefde kent geen afgunst, geen ijdel vertoon en geen zelfgenoegzaamheid. 5 Ze is niet grof en niet zelfzuchtig, ze laat zich niet boos maken en rekent het kwaad niet aan, 6 ze verheugt zich niet over het onrecht maar vindt vreugde in de waarheid. 7 Alles verdraagt ze, alles gelooft ze, alles hoopt ze, in alles volhardt ze. 8 De liefde zal nooit vergaan.
