Only a fool would believe they're right when everyone on the planet says they're wrong.

The most important thing is having a vision, and being particularly focused about how you build and who you invite along to see it into light.  Relentless, even.  Because no matter what they say, there's not going to be much encouragement for you when you're doing something truly groundbreaking.  You're just going to feel like you're in the dark, keeping yourself company, watching movies all day and imagining where exactly it is you're at in your journey.  Wondering what he would have said if he was in the exact same place.  Wondering how he found a special place to box up his anger so that he could come in every day and stand like a rock, and speak with grace.
