Meg Whitman, head of eBay, received her best advice from her father, telling her that there was no need and no point to ever be mean to anyone at any time, but instead should be nice to everyone. This episode happened at age 10, when she had been mean to someone. "You never know who you're going to meet later in life. By the way, you don't change anything being mean. Usually, you don't get anywhere."

At 74, Warren Buffet says the best advice he ever received was to understand what truly makes you "right". It's not because others say you are right; it's because your information and facts are correct.
This advice also came from people who discouraged him from originally going into the securities business. Buffet heard what they advised, but went after securities anyway, following his heart.
BRAIN STORM!
Be honest...how many of you have trouble with being wrong - especially when you are? Sometimes I find myself arguing over the stupidest things, all because I have this need to prove that what I am saying is right, even if it doesn't make any difference. I like this advice because it goes beyond culture, it goes beyond concensus. It's based on cold, hard facts - the issue is the facts, and the facts determine what's right.
How many times have you defended as right some issue you have not researched yourself, but relied upon the hearsay of others?
Being informed and educated is the best way to ensure that you make the right decisions that can stand against popular opinion, which can often be wrong.
Take time to locate consistently well-informed people and resources, and keep their information handy, so you can utilize their knowledge when you need to verify information.
As a side note, this tells me that good advice can come from sources that may not have a 100% track record. We often tend to ignore the advice, suggestions and influence of people who have offered erroneous judgments in the past. But we should never rule out truth, regardless of where it originates.
Is there someone who has offered you mixed advice, but you know also holds a lot of wisdom?
Go after them and ask them for help. Weigh all the evidence carefully, and extract what is helpful.
At 54, Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Atlantic Airways and the Virgin Group, received some very unusual, but very keen advice. If he was to start an airline and go up against British Airways, he would have to be ready for everything they threw at him, including being prepared to sue them. But more importantly, he was going to have to win over customers with his own personality. That's why the advice given to him was, "Make a fool of yourself."
BRAIN STORM!
When you're up against the big players, they will play hard, and play to keep, as British Airways did in an attempt to crush Virgin Atlantic Airways. Branson was ready to fight back, blow for blow.
How have you prepared yourself for the eventual onslaught of competitor tactics?
You need to think through what you might do in attempt to overcome your business if you were the opposition.
Note that Branson did not try to become someone he was not - instead, he based his business (and his advertising) on who he was. It was an intensely personal undertaking, which a thin-skinned person would not have survived.
Could you build an advertising scheme around you and your own individuality, or even quirks?
Remember other entrepreneurs who used their own face and personality to carry the day. Dave Thomas of Wendy's comes to mind.
Do you have what it takes, thick-skin-wise as well as character-wise?
Make a list of characteristics, qualities and quirks that define you.
Is there something in that list (or a combination of "somethings") that could cause you to stick out in the crowd and be remembered?
If you get stuck, ask some personal associates and friends - they may see you better than you do.

Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a homeless young woman who lived on the streets. She had no parents, no clothes except those upon her back, no belongings to speak of. She ate whatever she could find, even someone else's left-overs in a garbage can.
One day, the prince of the city came through the streets with his royal carriage and saw the young woman rummaging through the garbage bins. His heart was filled with compassion, and he had his servants invite the young woman to enter the carriage to come to the royal palace. The woman was confused; why would the Prince want her to come to the palace?
But she accepted the invitation, though she remained somewhat in a daze. When she came to the palace, she was shown to a huge bedroom with a large canopied bed, closets full of women's clothing, and which was adjacent to a large bathroom, with a huge jaccuzzi tub. She was instructed to remove her clothing, take a long bath, and put on any of the clothing she found in the closet.
She was suspicious, and very uncomfortable, to say the least, but her curiosity, mixed with her fatigue and her hunger drove her to try it. She enjoyed the luxurious bath and the delicious feeling of being clean; she felt almost decadent when she put on the long flowing gown that she had picked out of all of the splendid garments. She went down the long staircase and was escorted into the main banqueting hall, where she sat down to a huge feast with every food imaginable. The Prince had requested that a special feast be held in honor of the young woman, who probably had not sampled such fare before.
The evening was wonderful. She enjoyed the food, the drink, the fine clothing and the wonderfully important way she was treated by the Prince and the servants. It was like living in a dream. And she expected the dream to soon come to an end.
But the Prince requested that the young woman become his Ward, his permanent guest, whose welfare would now be his concern. All of her needs would be taken care of by the Prince. She was welcome to stay with the Prince as a Princess of the kingdom for as long as she desired.
Amazed at such a prospect, she followed the servant back to the huge bedroom, where she was given a silken dressing gown for sleeping. The bed was soft, the sheets cool, the covers warm. It was perfect.
Yet in the morning, she found herself hungry again. And out of habit, she reached for her old rags instead of the fine clothing hanging in her closet. She went downstairs, through the huge banqueting room and kitchen, and went outside, behind the palace to the garbage dump, where she began rummaging for scraps from last night's feast, as she had learned to do throughout her life in order to keep from starving.
One of the servants noticed a beggar eating out of the trash cans and informed the Prince. His Highness looked out the window and recognized the beggar as his new Ward. He rushed down the stairway and out behind the house and turned the young woman toward himself.
"Why are you wearing these rags? You have new royal clothing in your new bedroom. And why are you eating out of the dumpster? There is an abundance of food in the royal refrigerator, all at your disposal. You are dressed like a pauper, and acting like one who has no food or clothing, when in actuality, you are now a princess, with all the goods, rights and privileges of royalty. Don't you know who you are?"
"I am an orphaned pauper," said the young woman, "living in your palace. I don't deserve to be in such a fancy place; I am nothing, and I have nothing. I have never done anything to even merit my visiting here, much less my living here."
"That's not the point," said the Prince. "I invited you here, and adopted you as one of the royal family solely out of my compassion for you. You didn't earn it; I freely gave it to you. And you no longer are an orphaned pauper; you are a royal Ward, with all of the benefits and privileges that come with being my Ward."
"Whether or not you wear the fine clothing or eat the sumptuous food is up to you, but it is yours nonetheless. However until you accept the fact that you are no longer a pauper, and embrace the truth that you are now a Princess, you will never be able to enjoy all that now belongs to you."
The young woman stood there baffled. How could this be? Who was she? A pauper or a Princess? She didn't know who she was anymore. She had been a pauper so long, she continually felt like a pauper. But the Prince has decreed that she is a Princess, and whatever the Prince decrees is the truth.
"Dear Prince, I have been a Pauper so long, I do not know how to be a Princess. I don't feel like a Princess inside. And yet I know that what you decree becomes law. So I need you to help me remember who I now am, so that I will act like a Princess instead of a Pauper. I do so want to be a Princess."
The Prince called one of the royal servants, a handmaiden named Paraklete. "You", the Prince said, "are to remain at the side of the Princess at all times, reminding her that she is now a royal Princess. You are to remind her of the benefits and privileges that come with her rank, and remind her of the behavior befitting someone in her position. You are not to force her to do anything, but to always speak the truth in love to her."
And the newly found Princess slowly learned to eat from the royal refrigerator rather than the royal dump, and reach for her new fine clothing rather than her rags. And she made good use of the royal bathroom and routinely tried to keep herself clean from the filth she used to walk and wallow in.
But this slow transformation of her outward actions only followed on the heels of the renewal of her mindset. With Paraklete by her side, reminding her that she was not a pauper, but a royal Princess, she slowly learned what her new identity truly was, and learned to act according to who she now was.
and seeing the effect of Netflix on Blockbuster, and Blockbuster on Netflix, this one struck home - literally. My husband is an avid movie fan, and we switched from Netflix to Blockbuster's all-you-can-view one month price because 1) a Blockbuster opened less than 5 minutes from our house, and 2) my husband likes to see and touch the movies he is considering.
Nonetheless, it was obvious that Netflix's no late fee policy spurred Blockbuster to offer their one-month subscription price, and to make their not-so-honest (ok, let's come out and call it deceitful, as New Jersey's Attorney General says in his lawsuit against them for fraud) "no more late fees" policy (there are no more late fees because they make you BUY the video that's late!) Netflix also triggered the Walmart copycat service as well. Obviously, they had a great thing going, and everyone else wanted a piece of it.
But according to Netflix, the little red envelopes that deliver and return DVDs were never meant to be the end product. They have been aiming at delivering movies over the internet from the beginning - hence the name "Net"-flix. The question was how and with whom.
Enter Tivo, who will be challenging cable's on demand programs, and making companies like Blockbuster obsolete, if they have their way. And from Fortune's article, it seems that their goal is slowly being attained. Blockbuster is slowly sinking, and being forced to change it's business model and emphasis. Great case study for how quickly the market can change, and the pros and cons of the choices you make to contend with the competition. Sometimes it can turn around and bite you...
