Looking at today's extremely successful entrepreneurs, the one common
thing
they shared is an extremely ambitious, to a crazy degree,
vision, which also
happens to be right at a relatively early phase
in their career.
A few examples are Chinese entrepreneur Zhang Yiming, who realized
information distribution was key to society's efficiency when he was
in college;
Google's DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis saw AI as a way
to solve biology
long before he received the Nobel Prize in protein
folding.
Elon Musk thought electric power would be central to the transition
of energy
when he was in college. These early visions made sure that
their paths weren't
taken at random later in life.
