"A dear friend of mine..." Problem. "Two Beds in a Hospital" Solution.

Hi Simon,

That was a pretty good fable... I believe stories can be one of the most effective way of communicating a message... :)

Interesting thought, Simon.... :)

I'm not sure if I would go that far....

I feel that it may help to reflect upon your own experience. To think, how could I have done it better? That could help for next time.... But I like to go back to the story of how a baby learns to walk, which I quoted from Joe Sugarman's book....

We try to stand up, we stumble, we try again.... Eventually, we'll be standing and walking happily! We did that as children, and we can do it again and again in so many different areas, whether it is in physics, in online business, or in anything else....

But I think it's important to push yourself, to get up and try again. To keep pushing your limits to achieve things you haven't achieved before....

A baby doesn't have to make an info product about falling down all the time.... (Though you might say the loud crying that sometimes accompanies a fall could be a type of "information product"!) I think despite ourselves, by trying again and again (and reflecting on the experience) we can't help but learn, and do better and better.... :)

Cheers,

Dien
