Innovators are the ones whose dreams are clearer than the reality that tells them they're crazy.

About This Quote

Entrepreneurs are the ones whose dreams are clearer than the reality that tells them they're crazy. This quote by Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer, is an elegant summation of his career. The truth is that most people have dreams that are quite clear to them, but they don't have the nerve to pursue them. They keep waiting for reality to knock on their door and tell them that their dreams can't possibly come true. When reality knocks on your door and tells you that your dreams are crazy, you should hit it with a two-by-four across the head and start pounding on it until it's dead.
