A $10 Million Education

When Tom Watson Jr. was chief executive of IBM in the early 1960s, he summoned an executive to his office after the man lost $10 million in a venture. Watson asked the man, “Do you know why I called you here?” Knowing of Watson’s legendary temper, the man replied: “I assume you’re going to fire me.”

“Fire you?” Watson asked. “I spent $10 million educating you. I just want to be sure you learned the right lessons.”

we need to change our perspective towards work, family and more importantly life that every incidence is stepping stone to success rather than brooding over failure. That's how you create win-win situation.

enough now but don't make habit to always fail :)
