"There once was a King of Araucania and Patagonia. He arrived from France and had himself crowned by the Indians, somehow, during the nineteenth century. It was a madman -so said his detractors. He was jailed and sent back to France thereafter, but he came back four times until cancer killed him. The King died, and his kingdom vanished, but now, from time to time someone remembers King Antoine I yet, no one remembers those who - erudites or not - stood against him. He might not have been entirely successful, but he became a King totally on his own, by his own means, and against powerful enemies, and despite all the arguments that those adversaries brought forward, they didn't work so that they would assure for themselves any place in history. Their merit is only to have destroyed a cause, not to have constructed one. Only nature succeeded in ending this man's career, not men, and certainly not the difficulties, and despite all, Antoine I, King of Araucania and Patagonia, will be remembered as such, and not as the obscure lawyer that he was before that, back in a little village in France. I think that despite what you might think about such a man, this is a lesson in persistence, and this King should be remembered by all those who make entrepreneurship their way of life.
