I respectfully disagree. Imagine you bumped your head. You now have amnesia. Everyone around you knows who you were and what you did. All but you. In time you manage to remember vaguely your life. I say vaguely because you only have a glimpse of moments of your life. No knowledge, no memories about your entrepreneurial activity, nothing.
Now tell me. What would you do? Would you do a 9-5? Or would you do the work? Start all over again. Get the knowledge, put in the work.
Some people don't care that they are older. They don't care about embarrassing themselves. They don't care about the fact that they're entering a new field. They don't care what other people think. They don't mind starting over. They don't care about failing. In the end, what is there to lose? Maybe the unpleasant situation they are currently facing is bigger than the hard work they have to put in.
I think people should be able to start all over again no matter what. It's a strength of character. It shows that you can adapt. That you continuously learn.
It keeps you young and hungry. You might disagree, but these are my 2 cents.
Reminds me of Phil Knight at the end of Shoe Dog saying how when Nike when public and his net worth went from 0 to 100m over night he was depressed, and he longed for and wished he could do it all over again despite his journey being an endless string of failures, reneg's and catastrophe's.

Also this quote by Freud which is one of my favorites:

1699937894297.webp

At the least since we all come to Earth with nothing and die with nothing, I think experiences and stories are extremely valuable, and the best hero stories worth telling are of those who overcame hard times.
