I Could See That Making Judgments About

Everyone Has To Decide For Themselves What Works For Them And Their Organization.

I Learned That Everyone Makes Mistakes And Has Weaknesses And That One Of The Most Important Things That Differentiates People Is Their Approach To Handling Them.

A Principle That I Could Use To Reduce My Mistakes In The Future.

Competitiveness Is Really What It Costs You Per Man-hour To Get You What You Want. In Other Words, There's An Education Level That Plays Into The Mix And So If It's Inexpensive To Buy An Hour Of Real Good Education In Places Like China Versus The U.s., That Factors In.

I Have A Bad Rote Memory, But I Tend To Learn Through My Experiences. And Then When I Went Into The Markets, And Then Starting My Business As An Entrepreneur, That Affected My Thinking A Lot, Too, Because In Order To Be Successful As Both An Investor And An Entrepreneur, One Has To Be An Independent Thinker And Bet Against The Consensus And Be Right. Because The Consensus Is Built Into The Price, And If You're Not An Independent Thinker In The Markets You Won't Succeed. And If You're Not An Independent Thinker As An Entrepreneur Starting Out, You're Not Going To Bring Anything Special.

To Be Successful, We Need Everyone To Think Independently And Work Through Disagreement To Decide What's Best.
