I'm feeling quite depressed and unmotivated right now...
Downers; 1) Laptop got smashed, have to use a windows 98 desktop built in a shoebox 2) Father tossed out an x-ray transformer 3) X-ray machine box was a woodworking faliure 4) X-ray machine external CW design was a complete faliure due to sparking, back to square one now, -$50. 5) A circuit I tried designing blew up 6 ICs 6) Not sure why I'm even making this thread

If everything was easy we would never accomplish anything, we would just say things into existence, and noone would care. They don't make movies or write books about the people that have it easy, they make them about people who have everything go wrong and still manage to accomplish something.

Then take what broke and make it stronger. Sometimes shift happens, and it snowballs into an avalanche, take the blows and roll with it. 3 weeks ago I had 3C's and 4 B-'s, I lost a competition that I had basically put everything into, and I had to build an entire plasma speaker, design, and do a project in a minuscule amount of time. I pretty much worked nonstop for 2 weeks and finished the quarter with straight a-'s, 1 555, and 0 spare mosfets.
In regards to starting your business, life usually doesn't hand us opportunities, so the ones that succeed make their own. If those who are ready aren't the ones that get called on, then we have to call on ourselves.

Reminds me of how my father dumped all of my electronics stuff onto the floor when I was around 13.. I lost my ramsey plasma generator and other stuff. I at the time had very poor vision(UCLA was bleh, nobody knew how I saw things). I somehow managed to step in two rooms that had wood floors wet with finish in our house.... That stopped me for years, now I'm trying to get back into hv and electronics in general.
During the electronics hiatus I got deeply into(and still am) reef keeping, horticulture, 3D stuff(Blender and Maya) and other related stuff..

other good ones are- The Rookie, Rocky, The Fighter, Apollo 13, and my favorite movie ever, October Sky. If the last one doesn't get you moving, you're clinically depressed.
