Failure as a daily threat across professions in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles on March 20, veteran journalist Katherine Lipke questions why people fail and gathers insights from Paul Shoup of Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric bootblack Albert Natrica. Shoup points to wasted effort, lack of saving, poor focus, and procrastination as core causes, while Natrica stresses hard work and family obligations. Bond executive Davis Babcock adds integrity lapses and misaligned incentives as factors, and bank official W H Lutz cites ambition and impatience. The piece surveys attitudes toward failure across business, labor, and personal life with anecdotal reflections.
