Comments on: Whatever you think, think the opposite! http://blog.goyello.com/2009/05/07/whatever-you-think-think-the-opposite/ Sharing our daily IT experience Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:49:10 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Aga Gibowska http://blog.goyello.com/2009/05/07/whatever-you-think-think-the-opposite/comment-page-1/#comment-23 Aga Gibowska Fri, 15 May 2009 12:07:41 +0000 http://blog.goyello.com/?p=203#comment-23 Przemek, thank you for a witty comment! I agree that the title of the book can't be interpreted too literally. I guess the main idea of the book is that doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing,especially in business world, may prove beneficial. Of course, by doing so you may end up in trouble for taking the risky path. Yet, on the other hand, you will experience new things which may create new opportunities that others will never be exposed to. Unsafe decisions "will take you to a place where others only dream of being" because "in every difficulty lies new opportunity". Przemek, thank you for a witty comment!

I got caught myself thinking: "I think I should go to work today. I am thinking of exploring some new technology. I think I will talk to my boss about some cool idea". Now, what? Will doing exactly opposite be beneficial? It is hard for me to believe so. Better not to take the title verbatim. I have a better one: "Whatever they expect from you, do the opposite" (and this way astonish them). I am afraid that the title of this book is very catchy but not quite appropriate.
