>> Definitely, you've got to be passion-based.
You've got to be involved.
You've got to ask questions.
And you've got to take chances.
One of the things I also tell students is that you should learn
to fail the way a kid fails, not the way an adult fails.
And when I was teaching my son, who works for me, how to snow ski, I laughed at the fact
that when he snow skied he would, you know, go about three or four feet and fall flat
on his face and get up and laugh.
And then I watched a couple of my friends ski who would fall down
and the first thing they'd do is get all the snow off and brush it off and look
around to see who's watching them.
And so when you fail as a kid, you learn from it.
You learn to quit doing that because, oh, that was silly, I fell down.
When you fail as an adult, the first thing you do is worry what people see and what they think.
And so you block yourself from any learning.
So that's one of things that, you know, I'm really firm about because you hate to say it,
but sometimes we learn more from our failures than we do our successes.
One of the other analogies I make is, let's just take the World Series.
The team that wins the World Series goes in their locker room,
poor champagne over their head, and they celebrate.
The team that loses is studying film and deciding what they're going to do for next year.
It doesn't me don't celebrate, but it means don't lose the focus
of that this should be a continuous improvements process.
You should be working all the time on that.
You should be analytical about it, but you should also be passionate about it.
