WALK OF FAME FOR ENTREPRENEURS SUGGESTED IN CAMBRIDGE, MA

Too often our immature society values only entertainers and sports figures.  Now a professor at MIT. Bill Aulet,  has come up with an idea to celebrate the brains in so many local business and scientific geniuses.  Mitch Kapor  is a first nominee.  For those unfortunate enough not to know who he is, read his biography here.  (He founded Lotus Development Corporation) in 1982. 

Aulet requests suggestions for more who might be considered for this walk of fame. One I would heartily recommend is Amar G. Bose, Founder of Bose Corporation.  Arthur D. Little, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. and many, many more.  I would hope it would not be limited to just MIT grads because I'd like to see Dean Kamen on that list. 

Ray Kurzweil is yet another who should make this list. He was even a part of MIT.  His educational and music systems are phenomenal. With the seeming brain dead people who populate too much of our political system,  we can see that something should be done to change that.  Obviously. when one searches the current crop of candidates, it is clear that they are not MIT grads nor grads of any highly disciplined academic institution with rare exceptions, like Obama who made it to the top.  So them to see. We don't hear as much about the people who make the great medical, scientific and technological breakthroughs by reading PEOPLE magazine and SPORTS NEWS.

Yet those who make in those seldom noted fields outside their own areas are viewed as lucky.  We know that luck is defined as the place where opportunity and preparation meet.  Unfortunately agents and publicists don't create geniuses.
