All You Have to do is Ask
- Jun8 15y agoThis is a great post. It covers the "you just have to ask" approach made famous by Feynman (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1196928 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1196928) and elaborated upon by Mystery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game:_Penetrating_the_Secret_Society_of_Pickup_Artists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game:_Penetrating_the_Secre...), which was initially developed for picking up women but is also devastatingly effective in raising investment and entrepreneurship in general. But the post goes waay beyond that. His sympathy for the investor who turned him down and his reasons were moving. Read this one, then go back and read the "The Last Post" on HN yesterday (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2514270 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2514270). Then, go grab a cup of tea/coffee and stare out the window for 10 minutes and think. That's what I'm going to do now.
