My Biggest Failure Is I Have Too

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.

The Word Entrepreneur Is Associated With Success And Adventure. From My Life, The Only Thing I Can Tell You That's Consistently Associated With Entrepreneurship Is Failure, And The Only Thing Consistently Associated With Invention Is Frustration. There Is A Long Road Between The Idea And The Reality.

I Think We Have A Society Which Is Spending More And More Of Its Money On Healthcare As A Percent Of Gdp As A Percent Of A Lot Of Things. I Think That's A Measure Of Success.
