Read an inspiring story today ~ the history of Google. Never realized it was that good a story ~ if you're not familiar with it.
In a nutshell, Brin shows newbie Paige around the Stanford campus, they become mates and start it around 96.
The best bit is they didn't want to run a company so they tried to flog it to Yahoo in 97 for $2million ... and were knocked back.
Ironically, Yahoo come back 5 years later with an offer of $3billion .... and were duly knocked back.
Morale of the tale: things can turn for the positive real, real quick and beyond your wildest imagination.
Just 5 years from 2million to 3billion ~ and in 2018 it owns Youtube et al and is worth around 400billion.
At the end of the day, you never know which seed is going to be a oak when it's still a seed, not even those who planted it.
Moreover, Aura Energy has a way better name than Google to ride the wave of success!
