James Balog essay

The one thing I really took away from the James Balog lecture was what creative people need to have in order to be successful in this world.  First he said we need to have passion.  Obsession is the fuel that feed our success, he said.  The next thing he said we all need is the belief that we will succeed, or the naivety that we won’t fail.  The last and probably the most important thing he said we needed were good ideas.  Ideas that are unique, that no one else has thought of.  He said we need to go with the lightening bolts and not fight the eagle.
