Know more than we do? Tell Us!

There’s a lot of glory, but not in a Navy SEAL way. Glory comes from a few places: You have created a new thing, a new way of doing things, a new way of relating to things. You put lights where previously there was only darkness. At the highest levels, you became a verb. Maybe they even made a movie about you.

Glory also comes from having aligned with an environment in a way that is… artistic. There is an “art” to Netflix, Google, Facebook, Zynga and others. Your vision leads the world and makes that world… smaller.

And glory comes from having created jobs. Gobs of jobs. For many slobs. (Engineers are famous for dressing poorly.) Lots of Steves and Bobs.
