When Ellison visited Israel for the first time in 2007, he told a business conference that he had launched Oracle, now the world’s largest business software company, in 1977 with just $1,400 of his own money because no one had believed in his vision. “Businessmen are successful when they question the norms that conventional wisdom espouses,” he said. “That is where innovation comes from – finding errors in conventional wisdom. That is what my company is built upon and that is why I think Israel will continue to be innovative. People here are always questioning what they are told!”
“When you innovate, you’ve got to be prepared for everyone telling you you’re nuts,” Ellison once said.”
Nearly every thing Ellison says sounds wise to me. You're probably reading my blog because I think and live far outside the conventional world. You too?
