Love (personality)

I believe that "love is inventive to infinity." An innovative idea can come from caring about others. If you can deeply care about others, you will be more likely to come up with effective products and efficient services for customers while sustaining strong human capital. I personally think that entrepreneurs should not chase money or honor, but they should chase love. It can be a key to every door.
