I just finished watching the 2nd episode of Apprentice 2. By now, all you apprentice folks know that bradford is out of the show. Yes, bradford with immunity is the one to be fired.

This ties in with my previous blog post. This situation is a clear example of how critical the ability to keep composure in all situations is. Bradford got ahead of himself and with arrogance/overconfidence allowed his emotions to rule roost. The lack of composure for few seconds put him in a very risky situation.

However, after seeing this episode, i wondered about mr.trump. Isn’t mr.Trump guilty of the same fault he acused bradford of? He lost his composure, his focus. He took his eye off the actual issue on the table, - why did the team lose and who should be held responsible for the loss.

He let his emotions get better of him and fired bradford. Bradford may have been stupid to take on an outrageous risk. I agree with donald’s assessment that risks like that can destroy a company. But, Right at that moment, they were getting together to discuss about that loss. Firing bradford for his mistakes was not the agenda.

Don’t get me wrong, i think this twist made the show very exciting. I have to praise mark burnett for making apprentice 2 as exciting as apprentice.

We humans are not perfect. This is one instant where the whole world noticed Donald Trump’s imperfection. Amazing thing is that *he* fired someone else for that imperfection.
