Sinner, that was a great response. There is a subtle but big difference between vision & pipe dreams, courage & foolhardiness, tenacity & stubbornness, taking calculated risk & being reckless, going on a planned adventure & a rash harebrained venture.....I could go on.

I once commissioned a plant in 40 days after I was asked to take charge - mid project. The big bosses including the CEO & the chairman thought I was exaggerating the critical state of the project. I just forced the planning guy to review the full project plan from basic assumptions. I spent hundreds of thousands without approval and far above my authorised limits. Guess who had the last laugh when the lights went on & the machines started production! The company would have lost millions (in opportunity & sales) if I had accepted the views of the CEO!
