Guess which crack pot this is from!
“I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, I observed in different countries that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves and became richer.”
- November 29, 1766

“You could spend all your time learning and not doing. And doing, not learning to do, is the essence of entrepreneurship.”
“The reality is that “entrepreneur” is not a job title. It is the state of mind of people who want to alter the future.”

Dissent and debate are the only way to improve and drive innovation. If we surround ourselves with people that agree with us -> stagnation.

In Google’s official statement about their “New Approach to China,” they praised the entrepreneur in this exert:
China’s economic reform programs and its citizens’ entrepreneurial flair have lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese people out of poverty. Indeed, this great nation is at the heart of much economic progress and development in the world today.
We we keep an eye on the situation with Google and China on this blog. On one side of the argument, many believe that economic progress brought about by the exchange of commerce and ideas empowers the local middle class to demand more rights to conduct their affairs, thus placing pressure on the government to instigate change. Another argument is that a company will never be able to make change by cowering to the demands of a government to conduct business in a particular region. But if that company decides not to do business in the region as a result, are they setting themselves up for future failure by not being in the region?

“Young men are fitter to invent than to judge, fitter for execution than for counsel, and fitter for new projects than for settled business … Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little…. Certainly it is good to compound employments of both, because the virtues of either age may correct the defects of both.”
- Francis Bacon, 1597

“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.”
- Nolan Bushnell
