Insecure people (supervisors) at work can be such a pleasure, can’t they?

🙄

Have. Worked. With. A. Few. Of. These.

Eek.

7 tells of insecure people:

1. Status conscious
2. Need to be right
3. Talk more than listen
4. Quick to anger
5. Hide their warts
6. Put others down
7. Pull rank

The antidote to insecurity?

Vulnerability.

When you make yourself less, you become more.

While I do not crave to be part of this kind of start-up life, I would like to be in this ecosystem as an investor.

I would rather have a company like this as part of my portfolio than be a live-or-die bit player in someone else’s portfolio.

In this world, I believe small bets are the answer.

One home run can make a career, after all.

The start-up life, which Musk described as akin to “eating glass and staring into the abyss,” had gotten old and so had Silicon Valley. It felt like Musk was living inside a trade show where everyone worked in the technology industry and talked all the time about funding, IPOs, and chasing big paydays.
