Towards the conclusion of chapter two, in the book Changing Minds by Howard Gardner, the author describes the possible addition of a ninth intelligence, which he dubbed the existential intelligence. The Existential intelligence is the curiosity for why? Why do we exist? Why do I make the decisions that I do? Is morality as simple as good or bad? Why am I attracted to her? Why do I feel this way? What makes me happy?
Mr. Gardner, the author, simplified it as "the human capacity to pose and ponder the biggest questions."
I took it a step further and added, "as well as the ability and desire to seek out the answers to your questions."
This definition is the reason why entrepreneurship is so appealing and that is because of what entrepreneurship represents. The concept starts with a simple idea. For it to become a reality, one needs to take action. During the process, frustration and failure are constant reminder of how difficult your journey is and will continue to be. For those who continue to fight through the struggle, they not only see a vision materialize, they look in the mirror and see the warrior they have become. They can smile an take pride in the product they cultivated over the years: themselves.
