The Braveheart of Business 2.0
Sunday, March 26th, 2006Sprenzy is a brand new blog set to chronicle the start of a Web 2.0 business. So it’s quite natural that the author was somewhat upset when flickr’s Caterina Fake proclaimed that It’s a bad time to start a company
. It started out quite sensible but then sprenzy brought out the big guns:
More importantly, what’s the opportunity cost of not taking the risk of starting your own business? There’s a line in the movie Braveheart that has always resonated with me. William Wallace cries:
Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you’ll live… at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!
William Wallace’s struggle for freedom was much nobler than my fight for freedom from the ”man”.
Mixing William Wallace and Web 2.0? There has to be a supr.c.ilio.us post somewhere in there. Ooh maybe if Braveheart embraces Pinko Marketing
