Mean People Fail
Mean people succeed, good people succeed. Succeeding by being mean is pretty lame, everybody can do that.However, if you can succeed  while still being good, then you are really talented, then you are a real founder at least in my book. There's not many of those, but there are a couple. I think startups have made it possible to create more good & successful people as they can become very successful very young, without being made ruthless by the business world over 10 or 20 years.
