“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” We’ve all heard this phrase many times. I think it’s wrong. If you fail it only means you are in the fight. It means you are daring what others only dream. “If at first you don’t succeed: Way to go!”
“Try, Try Again” Is All Wrong!

What am I doing here? I have been dreaming about doing work online for years. The problem is it has remained at the level of a dream for over a decade now. Part of the problem is scale of the dream. It’s not good enough to merely make my living online, I have to SUCCEED. [...]

I’ve got to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ll be running from the Zen Center back to town tomorrow. Just under three miles. If the temperature permits, [...]
First Barefoot Run
