Hungry Yet Humble

I was flipping TV channels (does anyone else still do that anymore?) and I caught the end of V for Vendetta.  I have seen the movie before and I think it’s a great flick.  One line toward the end has always struck me as being a mantra for entrepreneurs.

When V is about to off Mr. Creedy, Creedy desperately asks V after having shot him so many times, “Why won’t you die?”  V says in response, “Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy.  And ideas are bulletproof.”

Despite economic turmoil and during times of war, political instability, and larger macro-crises, sometimes people are compelled against odds to bring an idea to life.  And to me that is really the true spirit of entrepreneurship.
