I came across a quote in a Business Week that I love. The article (full article here) talks about IBM Research Director John Kelly's strategy for research and development. In it is this quote from Kelly:
"If we don't fail a third of the time, we're not stretching enough."
He lives by the first step of having more ideas.

So I just discovered this blog and am hooked already. WOW...so much to digest! This particular quote will keep me thinking for awhile...I'm always so afraid of failure from a business perspective that I maybe play it *too* safe and, in turn, am actually running away from success the same time that I run away from failure. Thanks for the ponderance...perhaps I'll go for a stretch!
