Do the best of the best know the right thing?
Perhaps not. Consider this.
Steve Jobs thought the Segway would be a game-changer, like the PC. He believed it would reshape cities naturally. But the reality was different—only 140,000 units were sold.
In 2010, British businessman Jimi Heselden bought Segway Inc. for $100 million. Sadly, he passed away in a Segway accident that same year.
Even Jobs, initially fascinated, became skeptical about its impact.
This should serve to remind us: success is unpredictable, and even visionary ideas can miss the mark.
