The co-worker of a buddy
applied to an internal job posting.
She told everyone she applied
(her current manager was not amused).
She told everyone
when the phone interview was.
She took that interview
at her desk.
She bungled the interview.
She didn’t pass that initial stage.
She didn’t get the job.
And everyone knew it.
(Yeah, a cringe-worthy moment)
I fail.
I fail A LOT.
However, I don’t usually broadcast
these failures.
If there is a chance
a venture might fail,
I only inform the people I need help from
to increase the venture’s chances of success.
Many people think less
of doers who fail.
(It is silly
but it is the world we currently live in)
Limit your public failures
as best you can.
Don’t tell everyone your business.
