There are 60,029 other students taking CS 183B<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s true<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’m taking this class. So with me, there are 63,030 students. I’m here for the education. As EIR, I sat First Chair Entrepreneur<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What’s that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First Chair is like first violin. You sit in the front row and take notes and Motivationally Listen. You PQRST and you definitely pre-study and pre-google the legendary speakers that roll on to the Farm.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Q in PQRST is to ask questions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Good questions are the hallmark of any baby-founder. My favorite is, “Can you repeat that.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are the 14 questions from CS 183B (I say 13 but there is a 9a\/9b)<\/div>\n

13 questions from\u00a0#CS183B<\/a>. Sept 30, 2014. Lec #3.\u00a0@paulg<\/a><\/div>\n

These questions quality make you slightly less likely to start up a startup. You’re less likely to start because your questions do not pertain to starting. All 14 questions had nothing to do with “the first 17 steps to starting up as an entrepreneur”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As EIR at a school in the Boston area, I recommend that you take lesson from your dumber public school friends… Me, I went to Urbana.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Take this lesson: There is a bell curve. I care more about bell curves because I have emotional issues from being on the wrong side of the bell curve for so long<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are the 20 people on the right side, successful side of the bell curve. And how they got to the good side of the Entrepreneur Bell Curve<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Do pay attention to the fact that I memorize bit.ly<\/a> links of the speaker who is speaking and stumped as to how to regurgitate themselves\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This quote isn’t taken out of context. It is repeated 4.5x #cs183B<\/a> youtube.com\/watch?v=ii1jcL\u2026<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Result?! The result of Paul Graham’s keynote is 65k+ students falling off the silver bullet startup train. When you quit… You land on the bell curve on the LEFT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
