I remember the book When Bad Things Happen to Good People.

I try to remember all the reasons why.

But there are just too many things we cannot control.  And after so many years in the business, one things is sure - you can do all the right things, press the right buttons, and you would still fail…

What do you do when failure strikes?

1.  Failure can be, and should be made temporary.   

Nobody can be consistently successful.  It was even said that Warren Buffet was down 50% or more three times in his career.  You have to take the beating and stand up again.

2. Don’t let the Doubters put you down. 

There are people who seemed to be as lost as anybody else, and only function is to be an amplifier.  That means they are the one who don’t know whether what you are doing is right or wrong - and they only judge you by the results. In short, they won’t know how you manage your business.  You can be managing it badly, and doing the wrong things, and if you are still coming out right, they will pat you in the back. YOu can be managing it well, and doing all the right things, but if you come out wrong, they will be the first to plant doubtful seeds and attack you.

don’t let these detractors put you down.

3. Learn from your Mistakes 

Before embarking on your ‘comeback’, try to get an overview of what happened.  There are two scenarios - and how you view that scenario will determine whether you can make it next time.

If you think you are doing it right, and it was the circumstance that cause things to go wrong, then you should have the focus to keep doing what you did.  However, if you understand you may have done something better, then you should immediately be willing to change.

This is a very hard call to make — many people don’t learn from mistakes, and keep doing the same things wrong.  On the other hand, many people learn the wrong lessons - and it is not to do anything else again.

4. Visualize, Visualize!  

The one thing that can keep you on track is jus tot keep thinking what happens when you win!  It is said that many winners visualize how they make the shot that wins the game, or keep having the picture on their mind what it would be when they make it….  It helps keep the dream alive.

5. Seek a Higher Purpose!  

Whatever it is, life is more than just making another million bucks, or buying the next new car.

You are more likely to succeed, be less disappointed, and also feel more fulfillment if you can combine financial objectives with also an impact on society.  Make sure your goals are not too overly selfish, or egoistic.  

There are infinitely many more things than just that!  Dont’ succeed in business and be a failure in life. 

Kids Learn from their parents.

When during mother’s day, I told the kids that it is the thought thatcounts, and all I was giving mommy was a hug.]

Well, its father’s day, and the kids thought that they might as well save the money for me, and just give me a hug.

If what I have been reading is true, and that Facebook have overtaken MySpace as the number 1 social network ( both with roughly 115 million subscribers), then MySpace needs to do something.

Last year, purportedly Facebook added 75 million new members while Facebook added about 15 million only.

More update and details about Microsoft’s attempt to get Yahoo. I guess at this juncture, only history will tell. It is interesting to know though what Carl Icahn would do — he lost his white knight, and he still is with a lot of stocks of Yahoo that he bought much higher earlier,

In the aftermath of the Microsoft/Yahoo/Google triangle changing shape, the analysts covering tech industry sports are weighing in with their opinions.

Wow! In between what Microsoft was willing to pay ($33) and what is the stock price now (about $22), that’s more than $15 billion lost.

Jerry Yang must have lost a few hundred million dollars personally for his refusal to go with Microsoft. Now that’s conviction! or maybe stubborness, or maybe just crazy……

The software maker would have paid $1 billion for Yahoo’s search business in a deal that also would have generated $1 billion a year in operating income to Yahoo.
