I designed/developed this web site when I was 15 (5 years ago): http://web.archive.org/web/20051215081101/http://viewhtml.net/
I was very entrepreneurial at the time. I was thinking about making big things happen. Then I did not have success as I originally perceived.
I gave up my dreams. I found applying to Ive League schools more thrilling.
My hosting expired I was careless to create a backup. Needless to say I lost months of my hard work.
I could have achieved my desired success if I had not given up. I cannot tell for sure.
I am 20 now, and still aspiring to be the best.
Any similar stories?
