The guy in the movie was building something totally unique to its surroundings. It created attention all by itself. But what we're building on the Internet is about as unique as all the cornstalks in Iowa. The Internet has opened up the possibilities for many people to follow their dreams. We can build something that's worldwide, something we couldn't have done just a few years ago.
Hard work pays off.
It pays to do it right. Don't go halfway in following your dreams. Do it right. It may take longer, but it will be more fulfilling in the end. In the movie, the guy built the whole field, not just the infield.
