I respect the independent trailblazers of history and the common sense leaders of business, who truly live(d) the quote by Andrew Jackson--"One man with courage makes a majority." I believe that we as a whole are better off because of their dedication. Iconoclast and Serendipity are two of my favorite words.

I also respect and admire strong women who create their own destinies, often in defiance of expectations. They also have the courage to make their own majorities.
