the unexpected formula

3/4/2019

"Would you like me to give you a formula for success?
It's quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure.
You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all.
You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can.
Because remember that's where you will find success."
Thomas J. Watson

ABOUT ME

My name is T. S. Coelho and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, with my husband and three kids. I work in the asset management industry, managing an equities fund.

I decided to start this project in 2014 after realizing that my ‘grey finance world’ needed the color of writing after hours.

The decision on the subject to write about was easy to figure out: I combined the need to figure out how to feel healthy even when I sit for about 50 hours every week to my life dream of social justice – well, in this case it’s more about justice in the office – if talented, hardworking, shy people hide behind their desks, others will take advantage and fill in superior positions with higher rewards, higher recognition and more important than that greater personal fulfillment.

What I try to do here is to provide the means for extremely valuable people to find the confidence they need to succeed and to live a happier life. Enjoy!
