When pushing the envelope sometimes you and the people you work with say really stupid things and come up with really stupid ideas. It’s ok to say, “That’s a stupid idea”.

• When was the last time you said that?
• When’s the last time you said that and the other person didn’t get offended?
• When was the last time said that to you?
• When was the last time you said that and were wrong? And then admitted you were wrong?

I’ve done all of that. I just wish more people did the last. I try and do all of the above more often.

If you’re not falling, you’re not trying hard enough.

Whenever I’d come home with a new injury from biking, skiing, being a stupid teenager, my mom would tell me that if I wasn’t falling down I wasn’t trying hard enough.

I plan on falling down a lot more.

You’re going to see more blog posts from me (some starting tomorrow) that you may think are really stupid ideas. Please tell me so. Don’t be afraid to disagree with me or anyone else.
