You're just trying to find your footing, much like a technology product that's got lots of bugs. </p> <P>From adolescence onwards, you're in a perpetual beta mode. As an adult you're constantly learning new skills and capabilities, even as you age. The best and brightest among us are constantly growing. As a human being, you really don't "ship" (as the technology parlance goes) until you're dead. </p> <P>Everyone accepts that you are not perfect. You're allowed to make mistakes - hopefully not too many of them, but enough to learn and grow.</p> <P>In business, however, the total opposite is true. Nobody wants to see a product or service learn and grow in the open, or worse, fail.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ED13F4BC-82F2-401F-BA7D-503E26087BB9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
