Stay foolish

In the future, I will be a big consumer of papers and magazines on e-readers. I’m just waiting for the technology and the publishers to offer me online subscriptions on a decent piece of hardware that doesn’t hurt my eyes (will the iPad get us there?).

Anyway, this month, I got a paper copy of the UK version of Wired. A few articles focused on the people who succeeded in turning around a lost business case into a success again. I liked the conclusion of the editor (David Rowan):

“The comeback of public figures ranging from Mickey Rourke to Martha Stewart illustrate that being knocked down isn’t necessarily the end. Not if you have a purpose and a mission, a reason to prove yourself and a willingness to innovate.
And if you stay hungry. And stay foolish.”

Stay foolish.  Must not forget (note to self).
