We will ask from time to time in Worthless where entrepreneurs get their ambition, but it is clear that ambition and expertise are inter-twined; it is just not clear whether expertise leads to ambition, or the other way around, or both. This is illustrated in the story of how non-engineer Oliver Kuttner achieved one of Peter Diamandis' "crazy technological breakthroughs" to win $5 million.

—from Worthless, Impossible and Stupid: How Contrarian Entrepreneurs Create and Capture Extraordinary Value, a book by Daniel Isenberg
