What we know can be measured. What we don’t know can be learned. What we don’t know we don’t know yet is where endless possibilities lie. Although there’s nothing new under the sun, there are things that haven’t yet been seen from your perspective.

Every eye reflects light in a different way. Never stop trying to see. More. An entrepreneur’s job is to take what they know and find a way to improve it, learning what they don’t know and discovering every possibility that they don’t know they don’t know yet along the way. We have to look at a problem from every possible angle to really see it. Then we need to challenge what we see. And prove it to be true.

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
