I am certain the Google boys knew – and know – their story. I am certain that Bill Gates knew and knows his, too. I am certain that Frank Lloyd Wright knew his story. And that Gandhi did, too. I am certain Picasso knew his story, and Einstein did, as well. I am certain that George Washington and Benjamin Franklin knew their stories, as did Mother Teresa. I am certain every single one of the men and women who championed something of significance in their life knew their story cold, and their lives were a projection of that story. They were there to infuse their story with their vitality, to manifest their story in any way they could. The stories I speak of are everywhere you look! There are people everywhere. Six billion of them. They do without. They will always do without until the entrepreneur within you awakens to their lack, to their longing, to their pain, to their frustrations. All you need to do is look. To watch them and to get to know them. That’s where your Great Story is. After all is said and done, you are the only one who is going to make this Story come true. You are going to make the decision to either create a Great Story or not. It all comes back to you. Your contribution to the world will not happen without you. Your invention will not be invented without you.”
