As you may know, Microsoft has introduced a new product (Zune) to compete with Apple’s I-Pod. This article from Business Week gives a review and comparison. I wonder if Microsoft’s strategy is now related to waiting to see what’s "hot" and then duplicate. I just don’t see how waiting and seeing helps you in the long run.
As in business, your life was not meant to be a duplicator. The best life lived is found in what you were "wired" to be. Go ask the average eighty-year old about this and you might be shocked by the tears of regret.
Be who you are!
Years ago I worked in a Savings and Loan branch in an area with many retired people. As I talked with and listened to our customers I heard several times that their greatest regrets were those things they DID NOT DO. That advise helped me to develop my courage to grow.
