Here's something worth thinking about: founding a tech unicorn is actually way harder than becoming a professional athlete. The numbers don't lie—there are simply more people making it to the pros than building billion-dollar companies from scratch. It's wild when you put it in perspective.

ngl this is a bit problematic. Professional athletes depend on talent and physical condition, while entrepreneurship depends on vision, luck, and capital support... Are they really the same?

This ratio is indeed outrageous, but it also feels like stating the obvious? The low threshold for professional athletes is because the competition is fierce, and the scarcity of unicorns is also due to the fact that most startups fail—it's just the other side of the coin.

Isn't it because people are more willing to get involved in sports? At least the probabilities are clear.

Alright, this logic is indeed extreme... But to be honest, the path for professional athletes is also a matter of life and death, it's just that the threshold appears more "transparent."

Damn, this comparison is pretty harsh... Feels like most people overestimate the probability of starting a business.
