See a Need, Fill a Need

I remember seeing a movie a few years ago called Robots (2005).  If I recall correctly, the young robot had an entrepreneurial spirit something along the lines of, “See a need, fill a need.”  What I take from the interview with the TOMS founder is that message as well.  He saw a genuine need, and set out to fill that need.  But we can’t assume that all countries have the same needs as what he saw in Argentina.

Globalization as a way of thinking in general would benefit from NOT assuming that one person’s needs is every person’s needs.  That one country’s needs are every country’s needs.  And that one country’s capitalist model should be every country’s model.  :)
