A buddy lost his restaurants in the lockdowns.
Well, actually, he’s got some great properties that might come back.
“The question is, will the ‘suits’ come back?” he says.
The residential and office towers that fill his restaurants are still mostly empty.
He’s started another business on the side.
“You’ve gotta find a way to win,” he says.
I detest failure porn
That’s the stuff like how failure is the most wonderful learning experience.
It’s a loser’s mentality.
As Vince Lombardi put it, “Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser.”
Have you noticed that you only hear how great failure is from people who ultimately succeeded?
Failure is necessary and loveable feedback to keep getting better.
But that’s a distant last compared to the feedback of your goal being crushed 🙂
Certainly life isn’t about whether you win or lose.
Still that’s different to what I’m talking about here.
People talking about how grateful they are for their failures.
What did they fail at?
