When good ideas fail
It’s not about being right all the time
Business is not about getting it right 100% of the time. It’s about building the best hypothesis you can, testing it, and improving.
It's about constant and never ending improvement.
In arguments, we often want to be right. But being right is not the same as being wise.
One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we’re falling behind. That someone else is ahead.
As a young man I associated strength with force; louder voices, sharper opinions, firm lines in the sand.
There’s a strange kind of pride we’ve developed in being exhausted. But even lions, the king of the jungle, rest.
I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have ambition.
We sometimes believe strength means self-sufficiency — that being independent means being isolated.
Best intentions
Everyone means well. But that’s not enough.
You need systems to back up your intentions to ensure they don’t remain just that, intentions.
More failure can be attributed to a breakdown in systems than a breakdown of intentions.
(Sorry about the system breakdown that meant you haven’t received my weekly blog for a couple of months. Sam)
