“The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; !no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn’t do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn’t prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot.”

Mark Twain

“How do dominant companies lose their position? !

!(1) Because when Anything Interesting happens ... it was a FREAK who did it. (Period.) !(2) FREAKs are fun. (FREAKs are also a pain.) (FREAKs are never boring.) !(3) We need FREAKs. Especially in freaky times. !(4) FREAKs are the only (ONLY) ones who succeed—as in, make it into the history books.

Why Do I love FREAKs?

Most people are reasonable; that’s why they only do reasonably well.”

• The Great value innovator Jesus took risks and was crucified. • Alfred Nobel took risks and passed away in solitude. • Van Gogh took risks, was ridiculed and committed suicide. !• For every Bill Gates and Michael Dell, or any other well known, risk-prone, explorer, there are thousands of others who tried and failed. They lost everything! !The innermost mechanism of human progress is called failure. If it were not for all the fools trying to do the impossible – over and over again – we would still be living in caves.

“If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever

happen.” Ludwig Wittgenstein

take.” Wayne Gretzky
