And guess what is the response of most people? Negative. I am selling a vision, so it surprises me that people responses can be negative, rather than constructive.

I mean, is like this: I am putting forward the idea of an orange, its concept, its ideal description, and not a physical orange. I am engaging you to create the perfect orange. So if you come back to me saying that it is a ridiculous idea, all I can think is that your vision of what an orange is, is what is ridiculous. Get it?

Now is the time to take risks:
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.

I have heard the most ridiculous reasons to dislike my vision, and discovered that only those gifted with the power of vision can focus on the ideal. Those are the people I will engage. I need no anchors to slow me down. I keep wondering how is it possible that people spend most of their time complaining, looking for problems, or studying possibilities, rather than doing. Doing: that is what everyone should… well, do.

you have to invent it.”
