Re: Have you heard this phrase?

“Failure is success deferred.”

I like that. From Ray’s lips to God’s ears….

There’s an old joke: “I’m not afraid of of flying, I’m afraid of crashing!” I suspect that’s what many ADDers are afraid of—crashing (not success).

With the job market in the tank, some economists think entrepreneurial start-up numbers will continue to explode, out of necessity. And, once again, there’s an ADD irony here: We have lots of good ideas. But ideas require action—consistent, competent execution—to become reality. That’s why when we look inside our psyches we get nervous. But, hey, the people who OUGHT to be nervous are the hard-working, highly focused, steady-as-she-goes people who have a terrible business idea or no ability to respond to a quickly changing marketplace. If there’s one word that defines the 21st-century economy, it’s velocity—velocity of information, velocity of innovation, velocity of change. And it’s a lot easier to find help that’s focused than help that’s really savvy, creative, and quickly able to connect the dots.

Now, if we can just convince hiring managers of that, too….
