Innovation Success
It is all about IDEAS

And let it be noted that there is no more delicatematter to take in hand, nor more dangerous toconduct, nor more doubtful in its success, than toset up as a leader in the introduction of changes.For he who innovates will have for his enemies allthose who are well off under the existing order ofthings, and only the lukewarm supporters in thosewho might be better off under the new.
