The problem with that argument is that it will have you waiting forever for a gig as cushy at Mark Zuckerberg's.

If you wanted to start a company like Zuckerberg's you had one place (Silicon Valley) and a time period of less than ten years in which things like that were getting funded (or alternately, a similar window in China that may or may not still be open)

You'll always be able to find people who want to be partners in a restaurant, whether or not they are out of their mind is another question.

You don't need to be waiting tho .. the question is whether to deliberately go after big ideas .. Marc Randolph, founder of Netflix, specifically went after Netflix as an idea to be really big and make him a lot of money .. So did @pg with ViaWeb
