Lost

What activities do you lose yourself in?

I lose myself in writing. Thoughts and ideas spill unbidden from my mind to my blog.

Once upon a time, I know I would have said from my mind to my pen. These days, there is no pen involved.

I tap out my opinions, my conclusions or my beliefs on a screen no bigger than my handprint.

One sentence leads to another and pretty soon I have formed a post.

How to succeed

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

As Ronnie Cammerari (Nicolas Cage) says to Loretta Castarini Clark (Cher) “playing it safe is the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do.”

There is a myth among the entrepreneurial classes that you have to fail to be a success.

It’s an interesting theory based on a risk-takers mentality. I was once such a risk-taker. Let’s try it and see how it flies. That must have been what Wilbur and Orville Wright had to say.
