I was in Mexico last week on SYNNEX business. There, I was introduced to Antonio, who is a friend of another Canadian Business man friend of mine. He is an awesome person – very generous with his time and just an overall nice guy. Antonio is a bit of a deep thinker and business philosopher. One line he uses which has served him well is “Act Dumb”. By acting dumb, he can ask lots of stupid questions. Also, people tend to underestimate him and want to help him. It also keeps him out of trouble.
Dumb is smart.
Interesting idea.
Hey Jim
ReplyDeleteInteresting Idea I must say! It's very true, you can get yourself into trouble in a sense by pretending to know more than you do. In reality and in the the long term, that won't benefit you because more will be expected of you which in turn can lead to your demise.
I'm going to try this, this week, to see what effect it has at work! ;)
very bright...
