Never, never, never give up!
Posted December 28th, 2009
 


A wise man with a great name once said, "Never, never, never give up." He also said, "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery," but that's a story for another broadcast.

It's easy to get discouraged when you're attempting a difficult task, but when the task at hand is what you feel you were meant to do, it's all the more important that you stick with it.

Today, we'll be speaking with two individuals that work in an industry where rejection is common. Marcus Lee Stephenson and Tiffany Jones are Dallas based actors who found their success in different ways. What they do share is a belief that failure is not an option.

Checkout Microsoft Surface

Randy DeWitt, the founder of Rockfish Seafood Grill, stopped by the Innovation@Work! Radio Show not too long ago. In an exclusive on air interview, he filled us in on the innovative history of the restaurant, including the birth of Twin Peaks, an offspring of sorts. I'd love to see Rockfish invest in Microsoft Surface technology. Imagine enjoying a meal while sharing photos and videos right there on the surface of the table. The table could feature a touch screen menu, allowing you to order at any time. What other possibilities can you think of for Microsoft's multi-touch table? Email me with your ideas.
