Why do startups?

I happened to read this post recently

It was sounding similar to what I had written long ago

in terms of the goal of doing a start up, but I felt the reason to do that as given by Ben in the blog above is more appealing. He essentially says that 'the world we are in now' is built by your fore-fathers, their sacrifices. So, do not take the assembly line mentality. Instead, pursue something more meaningful which will justify the effort your grandpa/ma, father/mother would have put in.

What is meaningful rests with you to figure it out.

In my opinion starting up something new, fresh, creative and which can bring value to people definitely brings more smiles...
