I've just returned from my morning coffee "talking story" with my pals here in Honolulu. We all watched a "shark tank" episode last night that featured a wanna be entrepreneur who was proud of her live achievements but couldn't stop talking. All of us have started, owned, and sometimes been partners with one another in business ventures. This you understand follows long stretches in universities and extensive work experience. Together, we were astonished at this foolish young girls inability to take advantage of the Sharks considerable experience and knowledge as they kept offering her advise - free advice from extremely successful business people and she couldn't shut her mouth long enough to learn lifetime lessons! What a stupid youngster. Of course, at our advanced age, we tend to pick on those too short-sighted to see the obvious. Oh well, we were not to become her partners anyway so.......let her learn from experience as we have. It is just a little frustrating though to witness those who insist on the harder path when the golden one is laid out right in front of them. I suppose that might be the basics of naïveté vs. Wisdom. And of course, I wish her all the best!
Peace & Aloha.......another day at the beach
