📗Book Review

1.Mistakes and Learning

📝Learning  from your success will always tell you what to do next, therefore it is important to understand that failure is not a prerequisite to success.

👉🏻When you learn from your mistakes, you learn what NOT to do.
2.Don’t let the past drive the future

❌You have to learn to go in new directions, because that is what suitable today.

✅ If you break your tasks into smaller tasks, you are much more likely to be accurate, compared to estimate something big.
3.Premature Growth means death

🌐See what feels right, small companies wish they were big, and big companies wish they were more agile.

❗ Premature growth is a death point, don’t grow for the sake of growing.
4. Don’t be a Workaholic

🗝️Workaholics create more problems than they solve. If you always work hard you don’t know what are considered to be real problems.

7. Worry about the necessities.
