Once Upon a Time a Marine Corps dropout joined the Peace Corps to teach High School Math in Swaziland. After serving for 27 months he returned home to find he owed Blockbuster a $40 late charge. He was upset and felt he was taken advantage of so he started Netflix and lived Happily Ever After. When a sluggish, outdated company hands you lemons make some damn lemonade. Then when you try to sell that same sluggish, outdated company your lemonade for $50 Million and they laugh at you... Go make that lemonade even better and worth 20 times your initial offer like Reed Hastings did. Where is Blockbuster today? Not enjoying lemonade during this long, beautiful weekend I assure you that. So go enjoy the holiday but when you come back be ready to work and create something youre passionate about. If the public likes it too then you may just have created a revenue/income stream you and your loved ones will never outlive. Long Live America! My first drink of the weekend tonight will be in honor of Mr. Hastings. Who will you toast to tonight? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Hastings
