The great Moai statues of Easter Island were hand carved and erected by the Rapa Nui people who were totally isolated, thousands of miles from any other humans.  Like many early human cultures, they fashioned their most important creations in stone.  Over centuries, they evolved their technology forward, enabling them to cut massive figures and transport them miles across the island. To the Rapa Nui, the Moai are a source of "mana," a supernatural force or power to overcome obstacles.

Stone carving is a slow and laborious process.  Each creation requires meticulous upfront planning, intense determination and exhausting physical and mental effort.  For us, stone carving is a good metaphor for starting a new company.  Every entrepreneur is met repeatably with the equivalent of a stonewall:  obstacles that seem massive, unmovable, cold and impervious to change.  Since the beginning of our time, entrepreneurs have faced challenges like this, struggled and then overcome them through the force of will.  Our entire society evolved from the human drive to change the world around us.  Changing the world requires immense hard work, passion, vision, guts and a touch of of mana.
