Today I was with my father at the theater and we saw Avengers Endgame. By the way a great movie but the goal of the topic isn't to review this blockbuster or spoil you the end. I'm not the typical geek that love marvel and super hero stuff, but Infinity war was good so I said, let's go, let's watch it.

When you think about the vilain Thanos, there is a lot of analogy with entrepreneurship, particularly when he need to sacrifice his daughter in order to achieve his goal in the precedent opus. This scene is crazy because thanos really love his daughter, but he need to make his dream a reality, he needs the soul stone to achieve his dream

It may be the same for you who are reading this post written in an approximative english, maybe you dream of billion, of big warehouse full of products, what's separate you from this?
Can you do this by going to the club all weeks and spending a lot on expensive clothes?
What do you love the most in your life that you could sacrifice as thanos did for success ?

I think this vilain is really great because he teach us everything has a price, and you can't catch two fish at the same time, you need to leave one go to get the big one.
What do you guys think about the movie if you watched it , and in your journey what/who did you let go to pursue your dream ?
