Hungarian Teacher: "that's very not correct"
French dude: "They lock you in prison for this"
Indian lady (heavy indian accent): "This is a free country! It's a democracy .I can say whatever I want"
Russian Y gen Woman: "Seems like you picked the wrong country in Europe"
Entrepreneur Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, on failure:
"When my brother and I were growing up, my father would encourage us to fail. We'd sit around the dinner table and he'd ask, "What did you guys fail at this week?" If we had nothing to tell him, he'd be disappointed. The logic seems counterintuitive, but it worked beautifully.
He knew that many people become paralyzed by the fear of failure. They're constantly afraid of what others will think if they don't do a great job and, as a result, take no risks. My father wanted us to try everything and feel free to push the envelope. His attitude taught me to define failure as not trying something I want to do instead of not achieving the right outcome."
