    Heh, I don't know why your comment reminded me of this old gem: Of course, no one wanted to comment on how lucky I was to spend time reading software manuals, or Cisco Router manuals, or sitting in my house testing and comparing new technologies, but that’s a topic for another blog post. The point of all this is that it doesn’t matter how many times you fail.It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right.No one is going to know or care about your failures, and either should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because… All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are. http://blogmaverick.com/2005/05/30/success-and-motivation-you-only-have-to-be-right-once/ http://blogmaverick.com/2005/05/30/success-and-motivation-yo...
