If you don’t ask, you don’t get….
13th May 2025 The idiom “crying baby gets the milk” holds true in all aspects of life. There’s a story about Apple founder Steve Jobs that I love: When he was 12 years old, he cold-called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of the pioneering technology company Hewlett Packard to request spare computer parts for an electronics project […]
