Tim Ferris on “Pissing People Off”

Blog on December 22nd, 2009 Comments

My thoughts on a new blog post by Tim Ferris about “the benefits of pissing people off.”

Here are few quotes from the post:

“Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity: you’ll avoid the tough decisions, you’ll avoid confronting the people who need to be confronted, and you’ll avoid offering differential rewards based on differential performance because some people might get upset.”

- Colin Powell

“To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.”

– Elbert Hubbard
