a16z(@a16z):Travis Kalanick says entrepreneurs need pissed-off energy: "When you get into your 3rd and 4th, this may be even my 5th at this point, company, you get fricking really good at doing stuff." "Things that used to take me a day or 3 days, a lot of stress, anxiety, like how am I gonna do this, take me like 45 minutes." "I'm so used to adversity at this point that it's kind of normal, so I don't get as pissed off. But being pissed off makes you good as an entrepreneur, so I gotta make sure I'm still fired up." "You get too used to adversity, and that's kind of a problem." @travisk @bhorowitz
