EOC Week 10: Robert Kearns

Robert Kearns was portrayed in the movie "Flash of Genius". It is a typical David and Goliath story where he took on all the major automobile makers and eventually won. Though it costs him everything, including his health, family and decades of legal fights, he stayed the course and decided that his idea was just that, his, and fought the bully auto makers for stealing it from him. Most people would have given up and let it go but Mr. Kearns fought for the principles and ethics he believed in, which was you do not steal. Although I don't know if I would be willing to give up my family, in many ways I admire Mr. Kearns for having the fortitude to stick it out till the end.
