Entrepreneurs …Great Men …
“Universal History, the history of what man has
accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the
Great Men who have worked here. They were the leaders
of men, these great ones; the modelers, patterns, and in a
wide sense creators, of whatsoever the general mass of
men contrived to do or to attain; all things that we see
standing accomplished in the world are properly the outer
material result, the practical realization and embodiment, of
Thoughts that dwelt in the Great Men sent into the world:
the soul of the whole world's history, it may justly be
considered, were the history of these. Too clearly it is a
topic we shall do no justice to in this place!”

Inspiration ….
“One comfort is, that Great Men, taken up in anyway, are profitable company. We cannot look,however imperfectly, upon a great man, withoutgaining something by him. He is the living light-fountain, which it is good and pleasant to be near.The light which enlightens, which has enlightenedthe darkness of the world; and this not as a kindledlamp only, but rather as a natural luminary shiningby the gift of Heaven; a flowing light-fountain, as Isay, of native original insight, of manhood andheroic nobleness ….. “

By believing we grow the oneto many, to thousands, to millions ….
“Every new opinion, at its starting, is precisely ina minority of one. In one man's head alone,there it dwells as yet. One man alone of thewhole world believes it; there is one managainst all men.”

Relevant & Depth = the right to winA balance between the tip of the iceberg, and
the mountain we don’t see

Respect: conformity vs..perceived chaos
• “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Steve Jobs
