Nevertheless, it was nice to read Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker article The Tweaker, about Steve "The Tweaker's Tweaker" Jobs, in particular this portion, and most particularly the last sentence thereof:
"The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper, and re-imagines the world. The tweaker inherits things as they are, and has to push and pull them toward some more nearly perfect solution. That is not a lesser task."
Especially since—as the forwards in soccer or the leadership in institutions or the with-it people of everyday—the visionaries tend to receive most of the credit.
And so, in the words of Steve himself, I remind the world, the incessant dream-demanders, the well-intentioned idea-vomiters, and of course, the Self, that there's a good chance “You’ve got to show me some stuff, and I’ll know it when I see it.”

Solid bro. I dig this.
Awesome. Anyone can dream dreams, but it takes real gonads to put them to action. Keep Tweaking and maybe one day we'll read something about our efforts. ;)
