"As you all know, life is hard. Life is really, really hard and it never gets easier. But life is also full of choices as well. So things in life are hard, right? Marriage is hard, divorce is hard. Communicating is hard. Not communicating is hard. Running a startup is hard. Not realizing your vision is hard." Marina Tran-Vu
