Animals don´t go around convincing if they´re leaders and they sure as hell don´t need convincing with words if they´re followers.

Well, animals usually use brute force. Stronger wolves dominate weaker wolves, get larger share of the food, etc.

As to undertaking things just for the sake of undertaking, no, it does not do much by way of achieving anything (except keeping busy). You need to undertake something in which you´re better, know more, have more passion for you to have success.

Entrepreneurship IS that passion. Maybe its not as visible as something like "woodworking" or "hunting", but it is nonetheless a valid passion and interest. The end result of entrepreneurship is building a business that is successful.

Most people actually enjoy the process of undertaking rather than the achievement.

Sure, there are those who´re better, know more or have more passion in making money grow. Most often they´re helped by having money to start with - even the best carpenter is at a loss without wood. But let´s assume it works, then you´re "in" the money. So what?

So I've built a successful business. Thats what. I've achieved, I've succeeded, and I've risen above the crowd. Money is insignificant; I'm happy as long as I have enough to be comfortable.



I know its difficult to understand why anyone would be interested in entrepreneurship without having an interest in money, but its like enjoying reading books. You gain nothing physical, but mentally you feel fulfilled.

This is only a side point, if you look into wolves you'll see although the bigger wolves will take more, they ensure everyone gets some. Theres no point have members of the pack dying off because they didn't get enough food. Unlike humans, who just pretend that nobodies hungry and dying of starvation as long as we can't see it.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
