Entrepreneurship is not Always About Changing the Wheel

Entrepreneurship is understood to always be innovative or new.  In my speech, I would like to talk about how entrepreneurship isn’t always about changing the wheel.  Instead, most of the time, it’s about just maybe changing the tread.  I will be covering successful companies that are well-known or local that haven’t revolutionized their industry, just have offered something a little better.

Pessimism: the Cure to America’s Optimist Cult

Around the world today, and especially in the US, people think that having positive thoughts and emotions all the time is the only way to reach true happiness. Self-help books, inspirational speakers and quotes, and the media in general portray incessant optimism as the one and only road to happiness. However, researchers are discovering that not only is this impossible, it’s counterproductive. The solution? Being pessimistic.
