"Even the best processes lose their power and their efficiency if the people enacting them don't genuinely care about what they are meant to produce. The caring comes first; only after that does the process take hold. Good is never good enough" - Subir Chowdhury #LearningToFail
You say "Optimists tend to be more approach oriented, they walk toward the problem, where as the pessimist tends to be avoidant, they withdraw." I feel like you are forcing a connection from a state of mind to actions, when they don't belong together. #LearningToFail
@TimFerrissBlog is there a more practical way to implement "fear-setting"? I watched your TedTalk and I loved the lessons from that sheet, but I think a 1-5 minute exercise would be more practical in daily life. #LearningToFail
"And then I picked myself up, I groped for the nozzle, and I did what a firefighter was supposed to do: I lunged forward, opened up the water and I tackled the fire myself" - Caroline Paul #LearningToFail
@NatalieFratto You said "Each of us, as individuals, groups, corporations and even governments are being forced to grapple with more change than ever before in human history." Do you have more evidence you could speak upon this topic with? #LearningToFail
"The fact that Destin was able to unlearn his regular bike in favor of a new one, though, signals something awesome about our adaptability. It's not fixed. Instead, each of us has the capacity to improve it, through dedication and hard work." - Natalie Fratto #LearningToFail
@JasonRobins how did you decide to break up the equity between you and your cofounders for DraftKings when it initially started? You didn't have the original idea, so did you get less equity? #LearningToFail
On page 48, you talk about how you think it's better to tackle small problems rather than big. But if everyone thinks this way, how will more important problems ever be solved? Do you think there are some problems in our world that are destined to never be solved? #LearningToFail
"Kids are not afraid to share their wildest ideas. As long as you can tell the difference between a good idea and a bad one... can only be a good thing… Come up with a terrible idea? No problem—just don’t act on it." (47) - Levitt & Dubner #LearningToFail
You talk about having fixed mindsets vs learning mindsets centered around topics of when you are smart, etc. in chapter 2. But what if I don't consider myself to be in either of these? Are there mindsets in between these 2? #LearningToFail
