Sometimes in business you fail. Overconfidence. Bad calculations. Hiring the bad people. Weak systems… and a few times, simply bad luck. My failures and my teachers. My losses my investment. I’m lucky that I have a successful brother and remembers me all these things. He is also able to see the good news in every failure, even if it is a great loss. As Robert Kiyosaki said: Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don’t be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You can’t have success without failure”. Every failure, at work, in your business, in your relationships, is keeping you closer to where you want to be. Just take the learning. And forget the rest.

And the risk of these guys awarding a several billions dollars contract by the weight of the paper brought in the...
The worst thing that can happen to a man, woman or chair is becoming civilized.Because then spending time in an office meeting people they don’t like and doing things that they hate under halogen lights feels acceptable.And using a ThinkPad with Windows. And preparing a PowerPoint. And eating the daily lunch special.And being afraid to ask for a raise. And when you point it out to him (to her, to it, to them) he tells you that “it is what it is,” that “what can you do,” that “life is like...
