And for that one must be innovative, open for new things. The world ows you shit..
Ps: in my experience eastern Europe does significantly better in software because the old company aristocracy did not entrenched like that..

In fact, I'd argue that it is often an obstacle to those things. > The world ows you shit.. That's a great way to highlight the difference between Europe and the US: The idea that "the world" (i.e., society and the state) does owe a lot to each individual is pretty fundamental to European thought. In the US, it's live or die, nobody owes you anything.
