The Most Inspirational Part of Andy Grove’s Autobiography
- prakash 19y agoFor me it was the name of his book and the thinking behind it "Only the Paranoid Survive". The other similar article that I can think of is Joe Kraus of excite talking about "Startups & the stockdale paradox": http://bnoopy.typepad.com/bnoopy/2005/01/startups_and_th.html http://bnoopy.typepad.com/bnoopy/2005/01/startups_and_th.htm...
- mynameishere 19y agoSo...the most inspirational part of his biography wasn't his business success, but rather the time he cheated a bunch of people in a queue?
- edw519 19y ago"cheated"? Funny how 2 people can look at the same data and see 2 totally different things. For me success in business comes directly from constantly saying, "I am willing to do whatever it takes to get what I want." All I thought was how the story is an excellent example of that.
- chris_l 19y ago"I am willing to do whatever it takes to get what I want." I hope you don't mean that literally.
- edw519 19y agoNo. But it is the answer to this question: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Secret-Getting-Absolutely-Everything/dp/0425178277/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203987695&sr=8-25 http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Secret-Getting-Absolutely-Eve... One of the best lessons of my life. (And apparently Andy Grove's, too.)
