In Seth Godin’s latest blog post he writes “Brilliant editors and venture capitalists have the ability to get excited about a project that perhaps doesn’t match their taste–or to criticize it based on experience, not selfishness. This is a really valuable skill, as it requires empathy, experience and judgment, not just the knee-jerk ability to pontificate”.
How very true is that? Ohhh yes and a foreigner like me had to look up pontificate!
