I think a lot about standards. Particularly the standards we apply to selecting ideas to work on, the magnitude of these ideas and possibility for success. Often the ideas people pick determines whether they succeed or not. This is because drive can be more uniformly distributed than taste within a population of individuals. 

Being driven and able to make things real can apply to things that aren't valuable, as well as those that are. It takes the same effort to work on something bad, as it does something extraordinary. Yet that choice isn't one for consideration at the beginning by many entrepreneurs.

I don't believe in equality when it comes to startups and human effort. To make big impact is an elite pursuit. It requires very large ambition. A desire to make historical change. Not everyone is driven to do this. It also takes extraordinary effort. 

However there is a binary switch when one pairs the right idea with the right effort. The one which is guaranteed to succeed because its future is inevitable and absolute.
