Rules For Success?
This is the notes and presentation for a talk I will be giving to students in the Engineering Department at Liverpool University on March 17th, 2011.
It is of course, St. Patrick ‘s Day, so in deference to Liverpool’s Irish history, I will endeavour to make this talk, less serious than it could be. After all, being succesful in life and/or business and technology is supposedly a serious business, but you need it to be fun as well. And the Irish and especially Liverpool Irish know about that!
The talk has two objectives.
For you, I’m trying to tell you what a great experience it can be to take the germ of an idea and create and nurture it, like one would a child. And hopefully make you think hard and long about yourself, your ambitions and how to create something that is worthwhile not only to yourself, your family, friends and country, but hopefully to the whole world.
For me, it’s more of ego trip or a voyage of self-rediscovery after suffering a stroke on holiday in Hong Kong. So I’ll perhaps apologise now, not for my brain, as it was always a few pence short of a shilling, but for my hands, my voice and my hearing.
You will notice that I have added a question mark to the title. You can question everything I say as much as you want and that is why it is there. No-one has the monopoly of what is right, least alone me. If I’d listened more to my doctors, I probably wouldn’t have had the second bad stroke.
