The Audacity of Ambition My new daily mantra: The audacity of ambition -- and innovation I don't want to work for an industry that is content with the status quo. I don't want to work for an industry that is afraid of innovation. I don't want to work for an industry that blames its readers when things go bad. I don't want to work for an industry that is scared of risk -- and success. I don't want to work for an industry that is scared of change. I don't want to work for an industry that is afraid to have a conversation with its users. I don't want to work for an industry that is content to die. I want to work for an industry that believes in its audience. I want to work for an industry that can admit it was wrong. I want to work for an industry that has the audacity to innovate. I want to work for an industry that always wants to improve, even when it's on top. I want to work for an industry that always strives to be the best. I want to work for an industry that believes there is no such thing as good enough. I want to work for an industry that puts innovation first. If this is the last stand for the American Newspaper, I don't want to go out without a fight. I want to shatter paradigms, destroy cherished icons and push the envelop of innovation. And if all those efforts fail, I want try again. I don't want to admit defeat without at least trying. If I lose, I want it to be because I had nothing left to give. I don't want to lose because I decided it was too hard to win. I want the audacity of ambition -- and innovation. What do you want?
