Excellent article Dr Audrey - you expand on the need of acknowledging and accepting perseerence as a fudnamental to success.

Really zesty, passionate, succinct writing with actionable takeaways.

I've written an article titled "You Don't Know What You Don't Know" based on learnings from Matthew Syed's "Rebel Ideas" which focuses on the question of how we form groups with people who look, talk and think like us. One particular obseration in the book is that being social leads to 100x more innovation than being smart ever will. The first-ever Apple HQ had a single toilet that all employees — accountants, executives, engineers — used. This led to conversations between employees and the cross-pollination of ideas. This burst the information bubble, facilitated diverse ideas and kickstarted rebel projects. This is also why an MIT classroom with always-open doors (Building 20) became a hotbed of innovation. The Bose Corporation, the Guided Missiles program, the Model railroad club all started here. This is also why, Silicon Valley with its bubbling dynamism, swanky bars and opensource culture brought the fall of the more rigid and siloed Route 128 industrial complex in the mid-’90s.

I think it's the perfect companion piece for your wonderful writing because a culture of diversity & hardwork is vital to ensure success .

Do let me know what you think as I'd appreciate your feedback!
