Task1
ReplyDeleteThis one is about risk taking and being willing to fail. In fact, if you're not failing sometimes, you're not taking enough risks. One of the things that we're lucky about being in Silicon Valley is that there's an incredible culture of risk taking and a comfort with uncertainty and willingness in this area to embrace failure and to learn from failure. This is certainly not the case around the world. There are many places in the world where if you fail, I mean you really feel like you need to just sort of change your name and move somewhere else. It's not okay, but here we are very much encouraged to learn from our mistakes and to do it again. In fact, there are many, many people who have started one company that has failed and then gone on to do something else and have been very successful. People look at them and say, what did you learn from that failure? Great, you won’t do that again.
Willing: I am willing to have a new car.
Silicon Valley: A lot of IT Company is located in Silicon Valley.
Incredible: This question is beyond incredible.
Embrace: Open the doors and embrace your community.
