The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Create it Yourself

Copyright: SingularityUniversity
For roughly two years I am working on setting up a team entrepreneurial startup think tank here in Dresden. It's name is LockSchuppen and the goals are ambitious. People tell me sometimes that this would be crazy. Interestingly these are not the entrepreneurial orientated ones, at least they are bound to a company and get their monthy cheque. Perhaps they are just scared and see that they could do similar with their visions they have in mind and don't dare to bring them into action.

Why is that so?

What is it that makes people often see more the risks than the chances in taking something new into the world?

If you are in a similar state, I highly recommend PeterDiamandis' video lecture at Singularity University:

It's actually a quote by Alan Kay "the best way to predict the future is to invent it."
