Today two friends of mine, two heroes, died. Not in a war, not in a car accident, not in a murder. They died for their passion, their relentless search for technological improvement, for what they thought was worth dedicating time, pain, and ultimately even death.
Before changing jobs I worked ten years doing my small part to keep them safe; today this ended, and they are not with us because they were trying to help us, to improve our lives.
No, they were not entrepreneurs, but they died because of their mission. According to the news I received, their last action avoided a bigger death toll.
They believed in themselves up to the last second of their life.
Can you imagine that? Being so sure of what your doing – and why you’re doing it – that instead of running to save yourself, you save someone else.
Today’s events made me think, as usually sister Death convinces us to do.
Who am I to waste my time? Who am I to waste my mission?
Why would I be afraid of stuff like “failing”? Bankruptcy? “Doing the wrong thing”?
What right do I have to be afraid to the point that I stop acting?
What right do I have to escape from my own mission? I believe that all of us have missions?
Their death taught me one thing: don’t be afraid of failing, because you know… failure is just an imaginary problem.
To you, heroes.
To you, my friends.
