This article talks about how young people can be so creative in their thinking and how they are able to become entrepreneurs at a very young age. One example is a boy named Cyrus Pishevar.

At the age of 13, Cyrus developed an app called high school memories as he was being inspired on how popular it was of tagging each other pictures on a social network. He said that, when you type in your memories, it speaks more than just pictures can, especially when your friends help you through.

From this article, it shows how to world has revolutionized into a world whereby even teenagers are able to become web entrepreneurs easily without an adult helping them. This is possible as what Daniel Gross said, writing software and is cheaper and simpler. The tools to make an app required less knowledge and do not required to have four years of knowledge in computer sciences.

It is important for us to chase our dreams but we must not forget about our education. As Vivek Wadha says, Pursuing entrepreneurship shouldn't come before an education. It is because, if you happen to screw up in your business, at least you have your education to support you. Taking Mark Zuckerberg for example, he did not drop out of Harvard University until his company gains traction. Thus, I feel that gaining traction for the company is very important before we make a decision on to go for education or entrepreneurship.

Thus, to summarize the topic, we must balance out between education and entrepreneurship. Not all people can be like Mark Zuckerberg. So, we must not neglect our education until we are sure that the company had gained traction and will be able to prosper.
