I love the first comment on the article: Very insightful. That’s why the true entrepreneurs are considered crazy. Like other entrepreneurs, I've always thought outside the box with pretty much everything... always questioning the why, the how, and what can be done to make improvements. Or sometimes I even gravitate towards seemingly outlandish ideas about the nature of the universe... things like that. I can't count the number of times people have either looked at me like I'm crazy or just blatantly said, "Dude, you're insane." And it's hard to respond with something like, "Don't you notice that pattern throughout history? Every true innovator was considered crazy in their time!" without seeming like an egotistical prick, so I just respond instead with something like, "Yeah you're probably right." Even so, I've convinced myself that a large ego might even be required to believe that you can do something great enough to change the world for the better. And at this moment, I wonder, why is it that we're raised to believe that a large ego is a bad thing? Surely, tying ones ego to productive aspects of life can't be a bad thing as long as it is in moderation and no others are harmed in the process. But anyway, thanks fellow hackers and entrepreneurs for helping me feel like I'm not so alone in my "craziness" after all!
