This came to a head back in 2007. I was speaking at the Business Innovation Factory conference in Providence, RI. So was Richard Saul Wurman. After my talk Richard came up to introduce himself and compliment my talk. That was very generous of him. He certainly didn’t have to do that.

And what did I do? I pushed back at him about the talk he gave. While he was making his points on stage, I was taking an inventory of the things I didn’t agree with. And when presented with an opportunity to speak with him, I quickly pushed back at some of his ideas. I must have seemed like such an asshole.

これは、２００７年のことだった。私は、ロードアイランド州のプロビデンスで行われた、the Business Innovation Factory conferenceでスピーチをした。Richard Saul Wurmanも同席していた。私のスピーチの後、Richardが登場し、自己紹介の後、私のスピーチをほめたのだ。なんとも気前よく。そんなことはする必要もなかったのに。

それで、私はどうしたか？私は彼のスピーチをこき下ろしたのだ。壇上で彼が何か主張すると、私は、自分が同意できない点を述べたのだ。彼と話をする機会があれば、私はすぐに彼の考えをこき下ろした。周りからは、どんでもないくそったれに見えたに違いない。
