You can't warn credibly against absolutes right after writing a generalization like this:

> I think you rarely find the guy with the revolutionary idea and the guy that is the determine hard worker to be the same person. The ideas person is normally a dreamer and likes to change ideas quickly while the determine hard worker is diligent and hates change.

These are caricatures that reinforce the false dichotomy between creativity and hard work.

Rarely is not an absolute.Rarely leaves room for outliers, And before rarely, i added i think, making it clear i have no evidence to back this up.

Only - is an absolute. You made no effort to indicate it was an opinion but you present it as an absolute truth.

And with the notion one person builds a company.
