When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine, and play your guitar with your amigos. When you're faced with difficult career decisions, I hope you will remember this story. But studies have shown that we retain only a small percentage of what we hear. By this evening, none of you will remember most of the words that I've said today.
Failure is a part of life, as is success.
Learn from both. And then move on. Look for employment opportunities that best fit your personality and objectives, don't be afraid of being a big fish in a small pond. Find a place where you can share in the rewards of the work you produce, and reward those who produce for you. Learn to master technology, don't be a slave to it.
