Lincoln once said: "The brilliant genius disdain to walk the road that others walk." "People always laugh at those whimsical" fools ", but don't know what to think and why they can't be successful.

When Tim Lee was registered for the cool.com in 1995 (Note: A free domain name could be registered by August 1995), he was a senior student at the University of Washington, registering a domain cool.com for free. Cool in English is calm, quiet, cool, very good, the meaning of coolness, it is a rich and colorful word ah. He was laughed at by his friends. Because they really don't understand what it takes for Tim to have a domain name, and some even joke: "Tim, can you eat your domain?"

They didn't understand why Tim needed a domain name, and Tim just wanted to earn enough to pay for his tuition, loans and houses, "I almost sold it for less than 10,000 dollars." By the year 1996, Tim has received at least two phone calls a week, all of which are for the cool.com domain, and they have no doubt that the domain name is unique. He is not willing to sell, among potential buyers, including Continental Airlines. Finally, a trusted lawyer in New York told Tim that one of his clients (a leading consumer goods producer) was willing to pay 3 million of dollars in cash to buy cool.com, and Tim cool.com the domain name to a company for 3 million dollars.

In 1996, there were countless people who mocked the company: seven letters plus a dot, eight symbols, and it was crazy to spend so much money. But it never occurred to me that a few years later the domain name Cool.com was bought by another company at a price of 38 million dollars, of which 8 million dollars for cash, 30 million for the company's shares.
