“After the attacks on the World Trade Center, one of my advisers said to me: ‘You sure you want this job?’ Without blinking, I replied: ‘More than ever.’ At the time, I had no experience in politics, so I hadn’t learned what I couldn’t do. Looking back now, I realize that was my greatest asset.”
Mayor Bloomberg, in an open memo to the future president-elect in Newsweek.
I couldn’t agree more. My greatest successes were born out of situations where I didn’t know what I didn’t know; I just forged ahead with a goal in mind and a lot of gumption. Call it the audacity of inexperience. Call it thinking outside the box. Sometimes going in blind offers the best chance of coming out a winner.
Tons of more directly practical how-you-should-run-the-country type advice in the article, btw. Interesting stuff in a fascinating time.
