"Badge of courage"

Posted 23 May 2008 by David Miliband  |  1 comments

Silicon valley brings together money, ideas and people in a way that typifies but generally beats successful economic conurbations around the world. I am visiting with Secretary of State Rice to understand the economic and social dynamic in this leading part of the US (and the world - it would be the 4th largest economy if it were a country) and in part to get a sense of the foreign policy conversation beyond the east coast.

It was surprising but I suppose obvious to be told that it is the attitude to failure not success that is key.  "Badge of courage" as a CEO said to me. Smart.
