Deconstructing Failure

At the TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design) last weekend in Monterey, CA.....

Presenter Tony Robbins -- he of motivational speaking fame -- asks for reasons people give when they fail. The audience yells out “bad management”, “not enough resources”..... the usual suspects.

Al Gore, in the audience at the time (and who had previously spoken to the conference) chimed in, “The Supreme Court”. (Confirmed by multiple attendees.)
