A lot of people give up when the world seems to be against them, but that's the point when you should push a little harder. I use the analogy of running a race.

If you invent something, you're doing a creative act. It's like writing a novel or composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment.
