Being too early is a privilege. Not everyone CAN invent things that are valuable but ahead of their time.

If you can then on the one hand don't expect tremendous accolade but also do continue working on what you're doing if it feels obvious to you that this is important. Today with the pace at which technology is advancing people tend to receive credit in their lifetime. In Grassman's day that was just NOT the case.

If more people took risks building out ideas they "felt" were the right thing to do the world would be a substantially better place.
