Quote by Scott Adams

The only risk of failure is promotion.

The only risk of failure is promotion.

Summary

This quote suggests that promotion brings along the possibility of failure. It implies that when people are given higher positions or greater responsibilities, there is a greater chance of not being successful in those roles. The fear of failure arises because promotions often come with higher expectations, increased pressure, and new challenges. It highlights the idea that the higher the stakes, the more potentially damaging the consequences of failure can be. Therefore, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder that success does not always come with a promotion and that taking on higher positions carries its own set of risks.

I stopped and gazed on the little dull man who was being paid to be a teacher of teachers. I turned and walked to the door, slammed it closed with a bang, and broken glass crashed to the floor. There was uproar behind me in the class, which did not interest me at all.
