Steve Chou unpacks the tension between traditional academic success and entrepreneurial risk-taking, revealing how the habits that make straight-A students thrive in school, like rule-following and risk aversion, can stifle creativity and resilience in business. His story offers valuable insight for anyone struggling to break free from the “safe path” and embrace the messy, uncertain road of entrepreneurship.

Quotes to ponder:
"Being a good student is all about following the rules. But being a good entrepreneur is about breaking them."
"I was taught that making mistakes was bad. But in the world of business, failure is a requirement for success."
"Straight A students are often rewarded for doing what they’re told, but entrepreneurs thrive by thinking differently."
