Make
Your Own Luck
"Success
Tactics You Won't Learn in Business School"
Your
job will require about a third of your adult life
and half of your waking hours. Therefore, the types
of work you do, the spirit with which you do it,
and the atmosphere within your workplace all combine
to transform you into your destiny. Approaching
your work and fife with two themes from this book
can bring you success and happiness.
Peter
Kash (cash with a k) is a successful biomedical
venture capitalist who has capitalized himself on
what he calls the web of life to bring him personal
joy and fulfillment.
His
first concept is that failure is a pan of the process.
Whether you're dealing with fertility, getting fired,
or feel stupid more than once; don't be afraid to
face and show that side of yourself. Be receptive
to where those failures are actually taking you
toward your future. Realize that taking five steps
backwards may allow you to take twenty steps forward.
His
second concept is to learn to be proactive and not
reactive. Do something good when something bad happens.
He sites Bernie Marcus who was fired from Handy
Dan, decided to keep the sa initials, and started
Home Depot. When some negative surprise happens,
thank that person. They have just gotten you closer
to your real luck.
