The Future
This is a pretty intense thought. And everyone is thinking about it, what will the trends be, what will the needs be of the population. Who is going to have the next big idea?
Why am i talking about all this. I'm watching this show called Dragons Den and it's a Canadian show (originated in the UK) where Entrepreneurs go in front of 5 largely successful buisness poeple who own companies like La Senza, Boston Pizza, and the Learning Company (which was sold to Mattel for 3.7 billion dollars) and pitch their ideas. If the "dragons" like the idea then they invest their own money into the idea in return for a percentage of the person pitching the idea's company.
It's an intesting idea for a show.
The "Dragons" are interesting people in their own right, i mean these people all started out with an idea and have made billions of dollars, the Learning company which sold for 3.7 billion was created in Kevin O'Leary's basement. These people have enough money to do anything with thier lives. The question I'm asking is why are they still doing buisness, probably because it's all they know, or it's our need to always have more money. Who knows. You know how people always say that if i had a million dollars i'd do what i've always wanted to do, Maybe doing buisness and owning a ton of real estate and managing large companies. This is their calling, some people paint some people make money.
Think of those youTube guys who now all of a sudden have billions of dollars. What are they going to do with the money? are they going to keep making websites or are they going to go off and do other things like Mark Cuban (who bought the Dallas Mavericks). Are we going to find out, probably not because it's not big news. I swear this country has ADD.
