Every once in a while…
you feel so embarrassed about your mistake that it consumes you, it prevents you from thinking about anything else, it makes you question yourself.
How do you overcome this feeling?
“The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence” (Charles Bukowski).
Well this might not be literally true all the time (see, I have doubt lol) but at least it totally reflected my sentiment these days.
If you don’t know sth and ready to admit that, you will have a chance to learn it. But if you are wrong, yet so overly confident, you will live with it forever and make your decisions based on wrong information.
Well but I guess you won’t care, so long as you can bluff your way through.
The thing is, your decisions might affect other people as well, you know?

Allison Fass reporting on Peter Thiel’s talk at SXSW this year where he recounted the time in 2006 that Mark Zuckerberg turned down Yahoo’s $1 billion offer to buy Facebook:
His only partial rationalization at the time was that in the history of Yahoo, it had made two $1 billion offers that were also turned down. And those were to eBay and Google. “At least I could actually make a pseudo-scientific argument that in every case Yahoo offered $1 billion and it was rejected, it was the correct thing to do,” said Thiel.
I should say that I know absolutely nothing about any sort of talks/deals between Tumblr and Yahoo. And I’m not sharing this to suggest that Tumblr should turn down such a supposed offer (my initial gut feeling is actually that such a partnership would make a lot of sense). I just found it fascinating given how closely the reported number is to the key number repeated in Thiel’s story.

Can’t help feeling sad when i pulled out that little Sim card. Like i have abandoned my old phone. Sorry, windows phone, you have been great, but i couldn’t wait for you anymore.
Goodbye.
By now it’s entirely likely you’ve seen it: Dove put out an ad where a bunch of women sit down and describe themselves to a forensic artist. Then, a stranger they just met describes them to a forensic artist. Surprise! They’re not as ugly as they think they are!
Look, here’s some real talk: I…
