Entre-peneury vs. Entrepreneurship:
 

In a society increasingly driven by the bottom line, how do we encourage people to take risks and think outside the box? Must creativity always turn a profit? Should this be our sole standard for success and recognition?

 

Please compare the historical figures and their contribution or idea that changed the way we live for the better. Hint:  the individual who thought of it first didn't always receive recognition or reward (and sometimes quite the opposite).
