Why good ideas may not have a chance to be good businesses

In US, the best internet search company becomes the largest internet company in the world - Google. Lots of money were invested into the company and they are managed and founded with among the best minds in mathematics.

Then in UK, they have people like Richard Branson whom are willing to try on lots of ideas, in many cases against difficult odds helming the Virgin brand.

In Taiwan, we also see the best of minds with great entrepreneurial spirits - 20 million people and delivering lots of technologies that makes Iphone and many other new gadgets ideas possible.

In Malaysia, we have 1 person who is so talented that he can be good at many things including distributing rice, letters as well as digital television content.

I can understand better now why banks are not interested to lend for small and medium businesses (but rather consumption loans) and why people are against GST.
