Fail More Succeed More

     You decide that you are going to be a merchant.  You are going to buy low and sell high.  That is your plan.  You buy a widget for a hundred dollars.  You advertise it for sale for $150.  Nobody buys it. You lower the price and lower the price.  You polish it.  You advertise it more.  It gets dusty on your shelf.  You dust it off.  Finally someone offers you eighty dollars for it.  You sell it.

You will learn more failing than you will ever learn in a classroom

     Maybe you should abandon your plans to be a merchant and go get a real job with a paycheck every Friday.  OR maaaaaybe, you should take that eighty dollars and go offer someone fifty dollars for that widget that they have been dusting and polishing for too long.  Then sell it for eighty dollars.  You have spent the time and effort and money to figure out what widgets are worth and not worth.  Failure is the best way to learn.  Do you think there is a book you can read,"What Widgets Are Worth" by Mr. Widget Expert.  There is no such book.  Fail more.  Succeed more.  You have to fail first.

     Failure is the seminar.  Attend the seminar.  Failure is not the only way to learn.  It is the best way.  It can be expensive.  Not knowing is also expensive.  Those checks on Friday never seem like they are enough.
