On the Attack!
At an Inc. magazine forum last week, I found myself on the attack. The target? Me.

THE MERITS OF SCREWING UP
Has there ever been a time when you were told you were a screw up? I have this idea that there is another way to look at this thing called life that may or may not be helpful to you.

This one monumental screw up that sat like a dark cloud over my head for so many years was the main reason for a whole series of screw ups that followed over the first thirty-five years of my life. Yes, you heard me right, 35 years!
