Inspirational: Innovate Like Great Explorers
I have to admit it. When I see grown adults (and kids older than two) ride around with those bicycle helmets, I laugh inside. If they do fall, will they fall directly on their head like Mr. Potato-Head? Okay, I am very political incorrect on this. If one is doing some kind of extreme sports or riding down a mountain, yes. Otherwise, please. You should have seen all the things we did as kids on a bike on the streets of Long Island, New York.
Take a look at this advertisement that ran in a London newspaper in 1913:
“Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.”
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating blind recklessness or a mindless suicide mission. What I like about this paragraph, is it emphasizes the sense of adventure and risk-taking risks that used to be a lot more common in America and is essential t in every entrepreneur here and abroad.
