Martyrs of Progress

Groups never invent anything. The only way civilization continues to evolve is by individuals that take a risk to do something different. But these same people often ruin their own lives right after they win. Just like Icarus, they fly too close to the sun and melt their wings. They get so used to danger that they forget how to stop. You do not have to end up like them. You must split your risks. If you take big chances at work, keep your personal life totally safe. Protect your home. Real success is changing things without breaking yourself.
