I've been thinking about starting a thread like this for a while now because for me, I'm fascinated and greatly inspired by the inner drive and thought process that the designers of our world of both present and past have used to help advance our societies, while creating great wealth for themselves. As some of you know, my mission for the rest of my life is to do something that is considered impossible, and the ability for me to be able to see how others have done the impossible, not to mention to be able to see how some of these folks live, pushes me further every single day towards methodically piecing together a working, viable path towards my dream.
Initially I wanted to call this thread 'Entrepreneur of the Month' (or something like that) but then I thought that it would limit contribution and participation. So please by all means, join me in building some positive energy here by adding videos, quotes and speeches, and even a look into the lifestyles and homes of the leaders, inventors and entrepreneurs who motivate and inspire you most, and push you towards your goals and dreams.
The first leader I want to present is a guy that I saw on Wealth TV a few days ago, Dean Kamen. Mr. Kamen is the type of inventor who has pushed far beyond the limits of the box, and has helped millions through his inventions which have enabled people to live healthier, happier and more efficient lives. As a child, he was perhaps one of the most famous faces that many of us have come to know as the 'face' of MAD Magazine, Alfred E. Neuman, as his father was an illustrator for the comic series, and even today, he is very much young at heart as his home is designed with secret passages, and watch towers, and not to forget to mention the fact that he parks his jet and fleet of choppers in the garage!
Dean Kamen is the inventor of the Segway PT and numerous other inventions and holds more than 150 patents from engine design and water purification, to an all-terrain wheelchair that climbs stairs AND raises it's users to the eye levels of those who can stand.
I hope you enjoy this, and I further hope that it inspires you as much as it has inspired me.
