Thought for the week
"You need to be first, best or different." - Loretta Lynn
I don't think I would want to be first...I'd rather learn from those that got there first and do it better! As for the other two...I am almost the best at being different! :o)
Good thinking re: let the others fail so you can learn. Tough to judge when this is right though. First movers sometimes get all the learning, if you're quick enough to adapt and change it can be an advantage - specially on the world wide web thingy.
As for judging whether they are right is not necessarily the case - it's just a different way of doing something that will eventually get you the result that you want. So no right or wrong scenario - right?
And everyone needs to be able to change and adapt quickly - otherwise you'll get left far behind if you choose not to learn and move with the times - well that's my opinion anyway.
