Money is overrated. Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money. If that was so， billionaires would have a monopoly on inventing new things， and they don’t. Instead almost all breakthroughs are made by those who lack money， because they are forced to rely on their passion， persistence and ingenuity to figure out new ways. Being poor is an advantage in innovation.
Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems—but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems more and more incredible.
