Thank you, Seth Levine! In summary he says:

So here’s to those entrepreneurs who are toiling away because they truly believe passionately in what they are doing and are going to make their idea a success whatever it takes. Building a business is crazy hard. You’d have to be half insane to even think about trying. So kudos to those who are out there toiling away at it. You are the real stars of the entrepreneurial world!

Passionate? Check. 10 years? Uh, check (its like lying about ones age). Stubborn? Oh, yes, check. Insane? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. (Just a little bit.)
