These are the big idea, high-concept, visionaries. The kind of creative, entrepreneurial thinkers who likely have ten unpaid parking tickets because they’re too busy thinking about how the world should be. Their high school teachers told them they wouldn’t amount to anything if they didn’t get their act together, not because they weren’t smart, but because they were born to operate against the grain of the system. These are the people who can ask why ten times in sequence and still not be satisfied. Given the difficulty of combining vision and execution, these people are a rare breed: They have the courage and passion to attempt the improbable along with the diligence and follow-through to pull it off. They can sell their vision and inspire others to follow the path. These people push their vision and ideas up steep hills, facing a long road of adversity until the day comes when everybody agrees that their vision was obvious all along. These are the people you *hope* your troubled teenagers eventually become.
