I couldn't agree more with the notion that entrepreneurship is almost like an illness. When I go to a local "tech meet up" I almost feel as if it's an AA meeting. Everyone has the same problems, everyone has the same story, everyone trying to change the world.
I often wonder if life would be easier to "just quit" and not care so much about changing the world and just getting a "real job" and move on with my life. Problem is, just like other illnesses, we are just born with it. You can't quit. You may be able to take a few years off, but you'll never shake it, never.
To be honest I think most entrepreneurs are very OCD, and by being able to channel this obsession to their business, they are able to be extremely productive. Let's be honest we don't fit the "normal" mold. No one else oozes ambition like we do.
