In far too
many cases, we kill the human spirit with rules of bureaucratic conformity and
then lament the lack of creativity, innovation, initiative and growth.
We are
angry with companies that take jobs abroad, but refuse to become the kind of
employees that would guarantee their stay.
We beg our political leaders to fix
things, but don't take initiative to build enough entrepreneurial solutions
that are profitable and impactful.
The future
belongs to those who buck these trends.
These are the innovators, the
entrepreneurs, the creators, what Chris Brady has called the Rascals.
We need
more of them.
Of course, not every innovation works and not every entrepreneur
succeeds, but without more of them our society will surely decline.
Listening
to some politicians in Washington, from both parties, it would appear we are on
the verge of a new era of conformity: "Better regulations will fix everything,"
they affirm.
The opposite
is true.
Unless we create and embrace a new era of innovation, we will watch
American power decline along with numbers of people employed and the prosperity
of our middle and lower classes.
So next time your son, daughter, employee or
colleague comes to you with an exciting idea or innovation, bite your tongue
before you snap them back to conformity.
