K ey Notes

What stopped Steve Jobs from being a failurewas one simple thing: Attitude

We can t all go on to lead the kind of life thatSteve Jobs did after he was fired. But we canduplicate the attitude that he brought to hisgetting fired. He turned what could have beena humiliating job loss into an incredibleperiod of growth. He turned failure intosuccess, Asman writes. All by attitude. Itwon t buy you dinner, but it can help turnyour life around.
