Seunn cannot be included because nobody know him



He should continue hiding when kids are going places

He is just taciturn... Me think he is an ardent disciple of Warren Buffet. Not sure though.

Seun's media-shyness like someone earlier mentioned accounted for his underrating.

Impressive! Great work, OP. Optimism does pay. These are people who see the cup as half full rather than half empty. It's really about perspective.

However, methinks Seun Osewa's name should have been included. smiley
I was searching for a reasonable person to reply and then I fond u..u're very correct,Optimissim pays...however the op didnt make a list of those who are young entreprenurs only...he made a list of those who make him optimistic i.e "inspires him"....perhaps seun doesnt inspire him....this is his opinion...
