Chasidic Lessons From A Thief (Great for Startups!)
Tech Tribe Dispatch #294
💡 Think:
You can learn from everything. You should learn from everything - even the negativity within you.
Rabbi Zusha of Anipoli, of blessed memory, learned seven ways to serve G‑d from a thief:
A thief works quietly without others knowing.
A thief is ready to place himself in danger.
The smallest detail is of great importance to him.
He labors with great toil.
Alacrity.
He is confident and optimistic.
If he did not succeed the first time, he tries again and again.
