Yahooey’s First Aphorism
“Connecting with failure at an emotional level is crippling.”
That is what I read in Seth Godin‘s blog post ‘After You’ve Done Your Best‘ and it resonated. So I slowly read the line again: “Connecting effort with failure…”.
I realize this is not the same idea and that I like my first, incorrect, reading of the line better. Yahooey’s first aphorism is coined.
