Re: What is the dumbest thing you have ever done in this business?
My biggest fuck up was going into partnership with a couple of guys because of who they knew and what I thought I could learn by that association.
I learnt for sure, but I learnt by fucking up along the way. NOT because anyone particularly helped me - and I say me, because my 2 partners were too busy getting in at 11am, doing YumCha at 12pm and then fucking off at 2pm.
Being given steps 1,2,6,8,10 leaves a LOT of learning in the middle.
I don't begrudge ANY of that though, I wouldn't be giving away the keys to the farm either, and I probably got a lot more than most others.
But I did learn an awful lot of the attitude and acumen by osmosis as well.
So when is a fuck up and fuck up ?
When you do NOT learn from it and do the same stupid shit again.
