Stoic Wisdom Quote

โ€œThe secret of staying afloat Jimmie is to create something that people will pay for. I didnโ€™t work at inventions until I saw a market demand for them. I wasnโ€™t interested in making money so much as in being the first to invent something that society needed.โ€ - Thomas Edison

Reflect on this as we embark on another week of bidding and building!
