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).

The thoughtful man becomes a hermit in the thoroughfares of the marketplace.
