Someone once asked what their favorite book was, and the answer was "The Count of Monte Cristo." The story is about a guy named Edmond Dantès who was falsely imprisoned for 17 years. Sounds like hell, right? But this guy eventually turned things around.

Why is this story related to great entrepreneurs? Because true founders are like Dantès—they can hold onto their faith even in the darkest moments. Being rejected, doubted, and suppressed are all common occurrences. But those truly great people are not defeated by adversity. They hone their skills in prison, waiting for the chance to rebound. That kind of mental resilience, that obsession with revenge (or success), is exactly what drives great entrepreneurs forward. So when you watch "The Count of Monte Cristo," you see not just an adventure story, but also the essence of entrepreneurial spirit.
