No, Einstein: Older people innovate, too

I had hoped to at some point be involved in some ground breaking research, but as I get older it seems I just don’t have the time I thought I would have for original thought (for those of you who haven’t tried it, at least for me, it requires extensive periods without any other draws on the intellect).\u00a0 I thought I had something with my DNA sequencing idea, but it turns out I was about 18-24 months behind the times.\u00a0 Many of my ideas appear to be novel applications of existing science\/technology so not sure if that would qualify as innovation.\u00a0 However, from a business standpoint, innovators often make poor entrepreneurs.\u00a0 Since I have focused on developing entrepreneurship skills since I was 13 and only later started to focus on science and technology, I have hopes that (presuming I am ever able to get some business going, naturally, something that looks less and less likely as the years go on) I can leverage my knowledge of how to build businesses to take some innovation and make something dramatic out of it.<\/p>\n

I guess it will be up to society to decide (if I ever amount to anything) if I have done something innovative or not.\u00a0 For some reason Steve Jobs is considered a world-class innovator, but I just don’t see that in him (world class marketer, yes, much like Bill Gates).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
