Thought this was pretty cool. 
Great (and rare) article here by Facebook Co-founder Eduardo Saverin. "What I learned from watching "The Social Network"".
For those that dont know, Eduardo Saverin is known to be extremely reclusive and camera shy, and has only recently come out of his shell a little bit to talk about his experiences (which were spotlighted in the movie, "The Social Network"). The most interesting part of this article to me is not the discussion of the movie (which he only briefly touches on), but more so his comments on entrepreneurship and the fact that in a digital age, the playing field is leveled tremendously as people need only an idea (the "seed")...and the drive to execute it!
He says in the article: "Imagine sitting in a movie theater, and when the lights dim and credits roll, you see your life unfold on the screen. I recently had this opportunity as I watched, with amazement and humility, my life and experiences appear before my eyes in the recently-released film".

Some of my favorite quotes from the article relating to Entrepreneurs:
"The creation of a business from the embryo of a concept is the genius of the entrepreneur."
"But, unlike so many things in life, there are no boundaries as to who can be an entrepreneur. You can be a college student. True innovation is blind. As the web increasingly democratizes innovation and costs decrease, anyone can showcase a product – just look at Facebook or YouTube. In the digital world, the dependency on a large checkbook to start a business is diminishing. Instead, what has become increasingly more important is the help from others — the intellectual capital and know-how to succeed."
"Entrepreneurship involves mistakes and failures. But ultimately, if you have that intellectual capital and intimate understanding behind your project, you have a chance to succeed. Intellectual capital, and not just monetary capital, will spawn the next great product or idea. Entrepreneurs, especially in the technology sector, will create things tomorrow that we can barely imagine today. They will struggle. They will fight. Many will fail. Others will thrive."
"Entrepreneurship is not limited to just our borders. In the digital world, borders are permeable."
