There's a saying that goes: "All I really need to know I learned kindergarten." 

A variant of that is: "All I need to know about startups, I learned from reading my comic books." And, you thought reading comic books was a waste of time.

Here's a fun slide show to help us stay on track as an entrepreneur.  

Superheroes never give up; They get the job done; They're the best at what they do; They're crystal clear of their purpose; They're not flawless; They do not seek glory, but they get it anyway; They help others; They can do it by themselves, but are more powerful in teams; Their strength comes from their character.

Very kewl deck, Bambi. But what my startup needs to learn from superheroes is how to deflect bullets and fly :)

Hey, Gary:

Yes, I think learning how to deflect "torpedoes" would be a good one.

Well, as the admirable Admiral David Farragut said during the American Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay, "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!"
