I Think An Education Is Not Only

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.

We Cant Live Any More In A World Which Is Based On Stuff And Not Ideas. If You Want To Live With The World Of Stuff, Were All Doomed.

I Think Our Society Is No Longer Properly Valuing The Intangible Potential Of Innovation, Even If We Have To Be A Little Uncomfortable With The Risks Associated With It, And A Little Bit Willing To Fail, Pick Ourselves Up And Dust Ourselves Off And Try Again. We Don’t Seem To Want To Do That As Much As We Used Too.

Most Of The Time You Will Fail, But You Will Also Occasionally Succeed. Those Occasional Successes Make All The Hard Work And Sacrifice Worthwhile.

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. There's No Room Left For Kids To See Even A Little Bit Of The Opportunities To Really, Really Get Excited About Becoming An Inventor, An Engineer, Or A Scientist, A Problem Solver.
