I like the story and invention of Tim Banner-Lee but I love the story of the innovation of Bill Gates. The two men are kinds of prodigies of our time with ingenious contribution to our world but while one invented the internet for the company he worked for, the other is profiting from innovating the internet and has made billions of dollars in doing this.
The difference between the two men are remarkable as Tim is a genius in his world but he didn't add the enterprise intelligence in my opinion. Imagine if it is Bill Gate that invented the internet, he would have hit a new record of wealth that knowledge age has not seen and he would have collected those from the high middle and upper class and give a part to the poor. Bill Gates and the wife run the most funded charitable/gift organisation in the world and that would have been richer and more helpful.
Readers and critics would have called this gullibility but it is in agreement with the Biblical description of TALENT. The master has endowed you with talent to trade and not to waste, if you do not trade with it to make gain and contribute to making the world a better place, he will collect that which He has given to you and render same to your next door neighbour.
How many times have you had a thought, ignore to develop the idea and in no time you see your 'neighbour' trading on it? You have to become an idea generator and also become an actor of business. Keep your eyes on your goal having trade in mind and you are not gullible but wise.
