You Need A Stubborn Belief In An Idea In Order To See It Realised.

So I Think The Winners In Recession Are The People Who Produce New Technology That Does Things Better, Which People Really Want.

If You Invent Something, You're Doing A Creative Act. It's Like Writing A Novel Or Composing Music. You Put Your Heart And Soul Into It, And Money. It's Years Of Your Life, It's Your House Remortgaged, Huge Emotional Investment And Financial Investment.

If You Didn't Have Patents, No One Would Bother To Spend Money On Research And Development. But With Patents, If Someone Has A Good Idea And A Competitor Can't Copy It, Then That Competitor Will Have To Think Of Their Own Way Of Doing It. So Then, Instead Of Just One Innovator, You Have Two Or Three People Trying To Do Something In A New Way.
