Cornell Entrepreneur of the Year 2008 Howard P. Milstein ’73 delivered the keynote address, “Opportunity Always Knocks if You’re Listening,” at the culmination of Entrepreneuship @Cornell’s annual Entrepreneurship Celebration yesterday in the Statler Auditorium.
“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty,” Milstein said to open his speech, quoting Winston Churchill. “Nothing you encounter, or think of, is being done as well as it can be. There is opportunity in everything.”
