Quote by Eric Ries

The attributes for entrepreneurs cut both ways. You need the ability to ignore inconvenient facts and see the world as it should be and not as it is. This inspires people to take huge leaps of faith. But this blindness to facts can be a liability, too. The characteristics that help entrepreneurs succeed can also lead to their failure.

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of the attributes that entrepreneurs possess. On one hand, entrepreneurs are required to have the capability to ignore inconvenient facts and envision a future that may seem impossible to others. This ability inspires them and those around them to take daring risks. Yet, this mindset can also be a disadvantage, as not acknowledging the reality and relying solely on their vision can lead to failure. Hence, while these characteristics propel entrepreneurs to success, they can also be a double-edged sword that potentially hinders their achievements.

Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms, a watchmaker who left his prize chronometer in the desert, someone who loves you - even, perhaps, against all evidence, a celestial being whose only interest is to make sure your football team, army, business, or marriage thrives, prospers, and triumphs over all opposition.
