I learned something interesting this last week. In 1911, a ship launched on its maiden voyage to much fanfare. It was much larger than any ship before her; the largest luxury ship in the world with a swimming pool, gymnasium, fine dining, a grand staircase and luxurious cabins for the first class passengers. What was it? No fair peaking at the photo on the right.Did you say Titanic? Sorry, that's wrong. It's the Titanic's identical twin sister the Olympic[1]. What surprised me was that the Olympic's maiden voyage was nearly a year before the Titanic's maiden voyage. She also had a career for 24 years!
How come I had never heard this before? The answer is simple: when things go right, we don't pay attention to them. Next time you feel overwhelmed by everything that goes wrong, stop and ponder on everything that goes right. You'll be surprised.
