Success and Failure: Failure is not an obstacle or an endgame, but a process. If you’re doing things and taking risks (even small ones) you might fail 90% of the time, but it’s this process that leads to success. Success is often mastering the strange art of transforming nothing into something. It’s nearly impossible to become world-class great at anything, but it’s easy to learn to do several things fairly well. The trick to being successful is in how you combine your ordinary skills. That’s how value is created.
