The key point is in the "OR": "we WAIT for things to turn out for the best without knowing how it's going to happen".
My intention was to talk about this first meaning. I wasn't talking about the hope as in "I'll sit down and do nothing and hope that it fixes somehow". I'm talking about hoping somewhere along the path you'll figure out how to fix it. And indeed an entrepreneur needs courage, but courage imho requires hope in that you secretly hope that what you are about to do will change things. Maybe both virtues are intrinsically related :)
You should post your comment on the blog so more people can discuss it ;)
At a glance, I see this four-paragraph article starts with an Obama reference, ends with a Ghandi reference, and has about 15 bolded or italicized sentences.
Just that one needs hope to drive hard work to make it all work. Not much substance to those already there, but perhaps quite a bit to those that haven't taken the leap.
When we hope it is when we WAIT for things to turn out for the best without knowing how it's going to happen or doing anything to make it happen.
I would say that the one thing every entrepreneur needs is COURAGE.
What's the difference between courage and hope?
Hope is when you sit around waiting for someone with courage to come along and fix things for you.
