L'histoire derrière cette citation
Dell told the graduates that when he started his company, there was no manual on how to become number one in the world. Every step of the way — with each new product and new market — the industry experts predicted failure. When Dell announced plans to build servers, the chorus of naysayers was deafening, but they emerged as a world leader by doing things their way, with customers rather than experts in mind. He urged the graduates to leverage their fresh perspective and resist conventional thinking.
