No, ...it's true. I've always endeavored to turn a negative obstacle into a dangerous opportunity.
The ancient sanskrit symbol for something that respresents an obstacle, when flipped translates to dangerous opportunity. Much like when a
b is flipped horizontally, it will read
d, or if flipped vertically will be read as
p. You can complain about the lemons or you can make lemonade... the choice is always yours. I prefer to make lemonade, and plant the seeds that will produce lemon trees, that will produce even more lemons, ...which will lead to even more lemonade, and more lemon seeds which can then be planted etc., etc.,
One recent mistake I made... a real bonehead move was on some business cards I designed. There were gorgeous glossy full colour cards designed to introduce my target market to my products at the precise moment of their greatest desire & need for my product. It took me forever to design them just right, ...then I ordered a whole bunch. When they arrived, I realized I hadn't properly proofed them, because I messed up on my contact info. They were unusable for my desired purpose. Rather than waste them, I simply decided to substitute them for the blank cards I had been using. You know when you meet someone and they don't have a biz card on them, ...well rather than trying to hang on to little slips of paper, or numbers scribbled on a napkin, I'll just hand them a blank card and have them write their info out on that. Well, now, I just have them write the info out, on the back of the glossy biz card. ...of course when I hand it to them, I hand it to them face up ...just briefly, ...long enough for them to notice there's something on the card. Then I flip it over to the blank side, and let them know they can just write their contact info there.
98.9 % of the time, they will turn it over and read the info on the front of the card before handing it back to me, ...and of those who do, 99.9% of those will ask me for more information about it.
