“Typically you know as a kid, or even an adult, where you’re sleeping tonight but when you are in the care system, and in prison as well, you can get moved overnight with no notice at all. So life becomes uncertain and you get used to that uncertainty. I think for most people, they avoid uncertainty but with a tech startup you don’t get much more uncertain than that so you learn to live with it. It just doesn’t faze you — you are comfortable with uncertainty. Most people aren’t, they crave certainty — they want to know what they’re doing, where they’re going and what’s happening tomorrow. Growing up in the care system, knowing you can get moved at any time and you might not even have time to collect all your belongings… I think that actually prepares you quite well for startup life.” Duane Jackson https://lnkd.in/dyJEc6w #startup #tech #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #founders #innovation …see more

Do you read aloud? I find reading aloud what I've written makes it easier to find errors missed when reading silently, but did you know reading aloud, or even better, acting out what you're reading, makes it easier to remember? https://lnkd.in/eMTEbCD …see more

“I promise you that if you can cling on just that little bit longer, if you can find the strength to keep on going to find out what happens next, your failure will make you see the world differently and will present you with opportunities you never could have anticipated. You have not lost anything through your failure. What you have lost was not for you.
