This is my favourite quote: “Entrepreneurship is often a form of rebellion.' It really resonates with me because it highlights the fact that many entrepreneurs are not just builders, but also dissenters who challenge the status quo. This is often a brave and even political act that requires a lot of courage and conviction. I think it's important to recognize and appreciate the passion and drive that entrepreneurs bring to their work."
It totally resonates with me.

I’m fascinated by the quote, "Entrepreneurship is often a form of rebellion." It speaks to the entrepreneurial spirit of challenging the norm and breaking boundaries. I connect with this quote because it shows how entrepreneurship can be a rebellious act, and America's democratic system supports new companies in competing with established ones.

The quote that resonated with me the most was from Smith, who eloquently expressed that the right to one's own labor is the fundamental basis of all property rights, and therefore, it is inherently sacred and must be protected from infringement.

‘Every person’s ownership of their labor is the fundamental basis for all other property rights, and it is both sacred and inviolable.’ This resonates deeply because it emphasizes the intrinsic value and personal sovereignty of one's work.

The quote that I like most is from Smith, where he explains that every man’s property in his own labor is ‘the original and foundation of all other property’, and therefore must be secured from any sort of violation.

Adam Smith, an economist, said that a person’s right to work is very significant. He also added that this is the right that is the basis of all property rights. Smith then continued and argued that this right is one that must never be given away.
