Vision Versus Perspective
Some people call it vision. Vision’s an awfully big word to me. Vision's am awfully big word to me because I believe, first of all, vision matters. Let me tell you that vision matters and I'll help you understand that in a second. But I like to use the word "perspective" because it makes it possible for anyone to have one. When you say vision, it feels like only a few selected visionaries of the world can have one. But everyone has a perspective and that's in fact all visions means.

We're going to try to make it, reinvent the technology, and make it inexpensive," and the killer app was video games. And so I took this idea to Sandhill Road, and they told me there was no video game market. People don't start...
