Learning The Wrong Lesson

 

“The problem with success is that it teaches you the wrong lessons. What worked yesterday becomes religion, and religions don’t adapt.

People think good decision-making is about being right all the time. It’s not.

It’s about lowering the cost of being wrong and changing your mind.

When the cost of mistakes is high, we’re paralyzed with fear.

When the cost of mistakes is low, we can move fast and adapt.

Make mistakes cheap, not rare.”
