The message is kind of insipid, but the affecting music and connection to kid-spiration certainly made my girlfriend tear up. So there's that. :)

Wow. If only this had been the link about generating buzz instead of the black-hat SEO swine flu blog post.

The video certainly made me look at grasshopper.com for a few minutes.

Love the video!

But a small nitpick about the headline: While entrepreneurialism is a word, entrepreneurship or entrepreneurism is almost always more effective for its brevity.

You can disagree -- fine -- but we've been using entreprneurship, entrepreneurism, and entrepreneurialism to say the same thing (i.e., the act of being an entrepreneur). At least two of the previous three cases are fine. The third misses the mark because it describes "the act of identifying with those who do things an entrepreneur would do." It's muddy (not to mention inaccurate).

I just think it makes sense to be clear on a board where as many as half the folks identify with that cohort.

The video recalls the Shades of past success:

Where Necessity suckled those who strove,

Rather than visual Metaphors from leaden prose.
