I take Ross Jeffries view, which of course is based in the real world of interpersonal communication and asking people to have sex with you - a place where no matter how successful you are "no" will be more common than "yes." He says, "the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that unsuccessful people don't fail enough." This attitude is reflected in the "respond" portion of Natural Brilliance - good decisions are the result of wisdom, wisdom is the result of experience, experience is the result of poor discisions.
Wen Wenger goes on to point that the most wildly successful people are the true loosers. Wen is himself an example, someone who was "not very visual." Ross Jeffries had very poor communication skills and an ugly face to boot. Paul Scheele was a slow reader, who would actually hide the fact that he didn't read what he was supposed to.
It is as if where a person is weakest, they have the potential to be strongest.
