Default Failure

From today's Kim Komando's newletter:

Many of us are afraid of failure. But many highly successful people have failed in the past. See what I'm talking about.

http://videos.komando.com/2008/07/16/famous-failures/

And there are a lot more of them. The last line of the video is VERY true.

Thanks Munc,

That is even good for people of a certain age to hear. It's about the big stuff and the little stuff. Good stuff, Munc.

Geez. I gotta get out of here today before I begin to obsessively edit. And put in an addendum, or two, here and there. And. And. :yikes: I just put :yikes: in a quote from myself.

This Boomer in the morning. Boomer in the evening. Boomer at suppertime stuff is getting the best of me.

But I really liked that little video. So I just wanted you to know that. And maybe I will sign up for golf lessons again now.

Thanks.

Boomer

That was an inspirational video. It made me reflect on my past and wonder if there is still hope for me. Then I thought to myself.... "maybe I'll go back and see if anything new was entered into the PROCRASTINATION thread?" But I didn't feel like looking it up right now. So I decided to play another game of free cell solitare and forget all that ambition stuff.

Reminds me of my son who was a high school dropout and on the road to living a life we feared in prison.

Well, another success story of which I am very proud...

He is working on his doctorate and has a profession in the university academic field.

Failures do produce success at times.

Great video Muncle. I was fired from my first job in advertising. (Wasn't taking it seriously enough) And actually told them I wasn't going because I had nowhere to go. (Ah, the boldness of youth.) Anyway, went on to become their top writer! Brought in two 10 million dollar accounts with my campaigns and at a Christmas party the head of the agency came up to me and simply said "Thanks for demanding to stay. I thought that was so creative, I couldn't let you go. So happy I didn't!" A wonderful memory. ;D
