Texas Monthly One thing:
Failure is an option.
Evan Smith, who is
leaving Texas Monthly to become Texas Tribune CEO, writes: "You need to be given permission to fail, because (1) you're more willing to try new things that could turn out to be the next big things, and (2) in failure you learn." ALSO:
It's not about us; it's about them. "People who read this magazine care about Texas. Except in the rarest instances, they don't care about Texas Monthly writers."
