no doubt, the cultural difference is present
let also valorize some of our assets :
- quality work that lasts is also an asset ( vs “quick and dirty”)
- learning by doing is great, but as the chinese say : “Intelligent man don’t learn from their mistakes, but the from the mistakes of others” - some things like negotation, working with lawyers, tricks to raise money can be transferred to entrepreneurs and I have many confirmations from entrepreneurs on this
my point is : yes, no doubt, passion and motivation and resilience are at the heart, and this is in the entrepreneurs, and european / swiss culture might not be as shiny as the US -> let work on it and write about the positive ! rgs
