Are you a "skimmer"?
My wife says I am. Though I try not to admit it... I do catch myself reading an entire email in one glance. That certainly leaves plenty opportunity for me to miss important information.
It's definitely embarrassing when reply to a customer and theyhave to email me a second time saying "thanks for your fast reply but you didn't address my other two questions..."
I think my best suggestion is to wait until you have a full minute to give a proper reply. In our world of iPhones, iPads, Androids, and windows mobile phones.... We feel compelled to reply immediately to show commitment to our customers. That's great -- just try not to do it at the expense of a valuable reply.
I know those out there reading, know me personally, can cite at least one time where have made this mistake.... Believe me when I say I know I am just as guilty as anyone. I'm always making an effort to slow down.
I wrote this on my iPad in the car...
Yes right now I'm writing in the passenger seat on the way to visit family. Is the iPad just a large version of the iPod touch? YES! It is. In fact I was disappointed when I first tested Andy's iPad (VP of our core development team).
Then I tossed it in the car. Then I started replying to email real fast. Then realized I had not charged the iPad for the last 4 days and it still had plenty of battery. Then realized I could remotely connect to my desktop from anywhere. And on and on...
Bottom line, it's more convenient, more durable, cooler, and more efficient than a full sized laptop. I was not, and am not, an official "Mac fan" -- I AM a believer in my iPhone and iPad. I use them every day.
NOTE!! The hidden benefit is how an iPad can keep my kids occupied for hours at a time when you need a break!
What do successful people have in common?
Google it! I did -- I'll save you the time. The one thing you'll find in every single article or book is -- TENACITY!
That's right. It's not brain power. It's not education. It's not money.
In fact many successful people are too dumb to realize they failed. So they kept trying.
"Successful people are too dumb to realize they failed"
- Successful people wake up every day ready to fight.
- Successful people don't make excuses when things don't go their way.
- Successful people often find very creative ways to solve a problem.
- Successful people may "fail" over and over again. But don't see it as failure.
- Successful people eventually achieve what they want because they keep trying!
Don't buy the expensive books. Google "what makes a person successful.." you'll see the same over and over.

Note: I almost always sit down and write my blogs in one shot. So it's very possible I don't catch every single typo. I'd rather get more valuable information out there than stress over typos. So don't beat me up too much over it :)
