To Me, Innovations Are The Wheel, Fire, Language, Movable Type. There Are Not 3 Million Innovations; There Are 3 Million Inventions

Invention And Entrepreneurship Isn't About Pure Technology. Most People Take Whatever They See In Front Of Them And Relate It To Something They Understand. For At Least Ten Years After Ford Started Building Cars, People Called Them Horseless Carriages. It Wasn't Obvious To Call It A Car. They Used To Call The Radio 'the Wireless.' Innovation Is Much More About Changing People And Their Perceptions And Their Attitudes And Their Willingness To Accept Change Than It Is About Physics And Engineering.

In The Culture Of America, In A Free Culture, You Get What You Celebrate. And In This Culture, We Have Two Obsessions, Become A Group That Becomes A Group That Celebrates Sports Heroes And Entertainment Heroes.

If You're Going To Fail, You Might As Well Fail At The Big Ones.
