I love the Business Insider article 11 Dumb Moves That Should Have Cost Mark Zuckerberg His $25 Billion Fortune.
My favorite anecdote comes at the end and is about Steve Jobs:
Even the most successful geniuses have bad ideas and get lucky!
Steve Jobs, for example, didn't want third-party apps on the iPhone.
Woops!
He was talked out of this stance, to everyone's benefit.
The rest of the article is about 11 screw-ups that could have ruined Facebook, but didn't.
No startup is free from screw-ups, so it's best to be resilient.
Thank you, Steve Jobs.
Refreshing to hear about successful people who fail and make mistakes!
You like that? Well there's a lot more where that came from!
