LEARNING FROM FAILURE
Failure is a label that often we associate with an action that did not work and so applied, the label is making us say that is not capable. This decreases our enthusiasm to become a successful person. By the time we were little, failure has no meaning, because we do not have the concept of "failure".
If we have the concept of failure, then we will not be able to speak, will not be able to write and not be able to walk. Because to speak, write and walk to the failure of countless. Likewise in the business world can also mimic our failure in childhood and we can learn from the failures. Coca-Cola had failed in the first year sales. Sales conducted by placing the Coca-Cola in the beverage in the pharmacy and 73.96 dollars spent to promote through banner ads and coupons. Failure to make Coca-Cola create awareness of other media, the mass media has more power when compared to other media and promote Coca-Cola with the atmosphere of joy. Matsushita to produce for the first time is a plug adapter. This adapter has actually proposed to the previous employer but did not receive a response. To create this product, along with four companions Matsushita took four months. After this product so no one was going to buy this product.
In 1993, Compaq which at the time as leader of the PC sales market, put through a price cut to compete with Dell.

Rachel Carson has struggled to maintain its commitment, after he discovered in his research that pesticides can damage the environment. Finally, he published a book entitled Silent Spring. Carson realized that his book would give rise to controversy, but he was with his commitment to save the environment remain firm in his stance. In the book called Carson held a serious public debate about the huge losses to be borne by nature a very loved and talked with great confidence about how fragile state of all living creatures, including humans, due to the use of DDT and chemicals other more toxic. Carson opposed by the agricultural industry, a massive campaign to discredit a warning. Nevertheless he kept his commitment to save the environment. Finally, President John F. Kennedy was impressed by the book and re-ordered study of the Federal pesticide policy. In 1963, the advisory body president for scientific affairs supported the establishment of Carson. Now people recognize that the idea of supporting a modern environment with the emergence of Company Social Responsibility, begins with the publication of the book Silent Spring. "A thousand words from him, then the world took a new direction" said one editor of the book. "Once the enormity of the power of purpose in life is supported by the emotional commitment" wrote Cooper and Sawaf the Executive EQ.
What did Rachel Carson is put all the talent and energy with the purpose of life with a strong motivation or emotional commitment. "There is no great work in the world has ever happened without morale boost" said the German philosopher, Hegel. The leaders and executives must realize that the motivation proved to be more important than intellectual or technical skills. However that move the motivation is not the head, but heart. "Truly in the body of Adam's son is a piece of meat. If he was good, then let the whole body, and members of other bodies will make it better. He is the heart "as the word of the Prophet Muhammad. Liver is the leader, should follow the guiding commitment, while the other limbs are the people who must obey their leaders.

LEARNING FROM THE COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was first made in Atlanta, Georgia, by a pharmacist named John Pemberton Styth.

Coca-Cola name and written in italics are interesting proposed by Frank Robinson who is the holder Bookkeeping Pemberton. Although Coca-Cola was first created in the United States, but in the year 1906 had opened the bottle factory in Canada, Cuba and Panama, and soon followed in other countries. Coca-Cola is now producing more than 300 brands in more than 200 countries. More than 70% revenue came from outside the United States, which shows that Coca-Cola is a truly global company. In the year 2003, Coca-Cola Company elected as the Most Amazing World ranked 9th version of Fortune magazine.

The result on the average 6 glasses per day, resulting in 50 dollars in revenue that first year. Thus a loss in the first year. Failure to make Coca-Cola create awareness of other media, the mass media has more power when compared to other media and promote Coca-Cola with the atmosphere of joy. At the Atlanta Journal Coca-Cola displays the slogan "Coca-Cola. Delicious! Refreshing! Fun! Exciting! Drink Soda Pop Top, contain ingredients that wonderful Coca plant and the famous Cola nut it ". Georgia school report includes Coke ad which states that the drink is "delicious and refreshing".
The success of Coca-Cola stood out as a clever promotion through the bottle design competition in 1915. Winners of the competition is Root Glass Company. "We need a bottle in which someone would know him as the Coca-Cola even as he felt it in the dark" said Asa Candler, who was then serving as president of Coke. Coca-Cola bottle to distinguish the brand and increase brand identity and maintained until 1955, just after the Coca-Cola is available in cans.
