Notice Failure Pay: Fill & Download for Free

That “all coppers are b*stards”.There are a lot of people on Quora who constantly make claims of wrongdoing by officers. Most officers do the job because they want to help.It can be a REALLY sh*tty job sometimes. The pay isn't great. The scrutiny is high. Successes are instantly forgotten or not even noticed. Failures are not well tolerated.Yet we carry on, day after day for decades until we retire. Many die within a year of retirement. Nobody seems to know why. Maybe we invest so much into this vocation that when it ends, we pine subconsciously until we just give up on life. We care that much and miss it when it's over.I've lost many good friends that way.Some coppers are b*stards… There's bound to be statistically. But if you've had a bad experience with one, don't assume that the next you meet will be the same.That's no different in principle to racial stereotyping. “I don't like the blue people… the blue people beat you up and tell lies”…etcSound familiar?

General advice:You can avoid failure by failing and figuring out from that experience how not to fail like that again. Asking this question to more experienced people, as you have done, helps too. (I am sure the experienced people had their share of failure as well)Failure is more essential than we know. As long as you are a human being, it is also inevitable. However, pay attention and you'll notice failure gives us hints to what doesn't work, so we can avoid failure the next time.Ask: what went right? what went wrong? why did we fail and what could we have done to prevent it? (Have an evaluation system)We are conditioned to fear failure or mistakes, but to those who utilize it, failure is a secretive key to wisdom, knowledge and eventual success. Cheers!

Here’s one that was such a blip on the radar that hardly anyone noticed when they hit the shelves in 2015 and very quickly disappeared:The unbelievable disaster of a joint venture between Coca-Cola and Keurig that was the Keurig Kold.I mean who could have predicted that people wouldn’t want to buy a giant loud, clunky $370 machine that made single 8 oz. servings of soda for more than $1 each?You heard me. The pods were being marketed in packs of 4 for $4.99. About twice as much as a typical 2-liter bottle. So you’re going to pay 5 bucks to make 4 not even 12 oz. Cokes, and honestly, as one reviewer complained not even that:"While I love Keurig and the thought of making sodas at home, this machine just hasn't worked for me," one customer wrote. "I've wasted pod after pod, with only 1 out of 3 sodas coming out at a time. They do come out cold, which is great."Another reviewer who said he had gotten the machine for free in exchange for writing an unbiased review laid out the problems in detail:“I would not buy this product. It is far from economical and there is no convenience benefit. The pods are almost as large as buying a can of soda. The machine is also too large to keep on the countertop, taking up almost as much room as my microwave. It is also loud — hums louder than the refrigerator on standby.”Here’s the Thing…This was Coca-Cola’s baby…they invested $1B in Keurig as part of an effort to make this idiocy happen. (Yes, you read that right: billion with a B.)Here’s the story behind it:Keurig's at-home soda machine was doomed from the startKeurig axes unpopular Kold machine, offers customer refundsBad Product Innovation: Why Keurig Kold Flopped | Altitude
