Look in the Mirror
My society: does it support entrepreneurship?
     Reject tradition
     Juniors know better than seniors
     Don’t accept the world as it is
     Be different from everyone else
     Prefer risk to security
     Take initiative instead of reacting only
     Do what you want, not what your parents want
