“

Unlike in school, in life you don't have to come up with all the right answers. You can ask the people around you for help - or even ask them to do the things you don't do well. In other words, there is almost no reason not to succeed if you take the attitude of One: total flexibility - good answers can come from anyone or anywhere. Two: Total accountability. Regardless of where the good answers come from, it's your job to find them.
