In Our Weakness There Is Strength



"She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness."



Oscar Wilde
19th century Irish poet/writer

There is something charming about weakness, at least personal in small doses.

In business?

Initially I thought no but now I'm not so sure.

What do you think?  Do you ever buy from the underdog?

  1. I wasn't buying this until you asked if I've even bought from the underdog. I did buy Apple when Apple was weak and am now doing my best to find an Android tablet I like just to NOT buy Apple.

  2. It strikes me as funny that I differentiate in some way I can't explain between a company being weak and being an underdog. I'm a little leery of the former and while maybe I should of the latter I'm not.
