Do you really enjoy being a founder?
As an entrepreneur who started my journey at 15, I never thought that there was another path, but sometimes I hear the opinion from people who launched their startup that "being a founder is terrible." What is your opinion?

It can be all consuming if you don't create diversification of other things in your life (hobbies, friends, exercise). Easy to say, hard to do!
So far, I enjoy it, but we're still at the very beginning, and my opinion might change.
It depends on how you manage things—whether you’re an entrepreneur or an employee, it all comes down to how well you perform. I know employees who make way more than entrepreneurs who work like crazy, while those employees put in far fewer hours. And I’ve seen the opposite—entrepreneurs making insane money, literally millions, and living the dream life.
I believe it all comes down to skills, instincts, intuition, and the ability to adapt quickly. As a founder, you have the advantage of making fast decisions, adjusting your course, and correcting your success or failure much more quickly.
That being said, entrepreneurship is exciting because you’re constantly facing new situations and have to make quick decisions that impact your product, your future plans, and even your personal life.
To be honest, most of the time it's 50/50. Especially when things aren't going as planned.
I have never experienced such high and low emotions in a span of 10 minutes as I have being an "entrepreneur".
