We wouldn't have the airplanes , telephones, electricity, cars, and computers that power our daily lives, and the malls that we enjoy. We wouldn't have the conveniences and comforts that we commonly take for granted. These men became successful because they were creative innovators and grandmasters of their own business game. Their vision and creative abilities were powered by both analytical and intuitive genius. Theirs are the sharp minds of whole brain thinkers.
