    “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” ~ Mark Twain (actually, this is attributable to humorist Josh Billings)

    If a person needs to advertise how important they are, then it’s very likely they believe just the opposite.

    So many in business don’t understand business. Of course, 100% of those reading below will think they’re in the 10%.

    If you can’t explain something simply & clearly, chances are you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Freedom - to work harder or work less. - to choose amongst myriad options. - to choose your lovers & friends. - to speak your mind & defend your ideas. - to be your authentic self. - to spend your most precious asset - time - as you wish. Freedom is the ultimate wealth.

    When you listen to a Sam Zell interview, you immediately understand how his family’s escape from Poland just prior to the 1939 Nazi invasion deeply informs his life. He is different in that Sam never wavers from doing what’s right vs. what’s popular. This trait is a skill.

    This clip from CNN is hilarious. But it’s also condescending & self-important. The daily news cycle - from Fox, CNN, MSNBC, abc, nbc, cbs - is just infotainment that’s produced to incite, indoctrinate, and alleviate boredom. Just another reason to stop watching.

    “Hard” things that give life meaning: - loving and raising children - building/creating in an environment of uncertainty - lending an authentic hand to something you believe in - understanding that love is a verb, not an emotion If these weren’t hard, everyone would do them.

    A friend just texted, about Kobe: “I wish I had known what a good guy he was before yesterday.” Something about death makes us wise—we suddenly become high-minded, forgiving and focused on the best in people. How can we do better at seeing living people through the “eulogy lens”?

    “I had a friend who was really smart in the media world & very wealthy. He thought that success & recognition were essential. I don’t feel that way. To me, success is having a mind that’s not at war with itself & a sense of well-being not based on having all the conditions right”

    After the media frenzy settles, this remains as most important, poignant, and heartbreaking.

    Over exposure to the daily news cycle stokes the fires of fear. “Fear breeds self-censorship, & self-censorship is more insidious than the state-imposed kind, because it’s a surer way of killing the impulse to think, which requires an unfettered mind.” - George Packer

    Kobe was a champion, a warrior. So incredibly sad. A brutal reminder to always count your blessings.

    An over-confident generalist is the man “with a hammer who thinks everything looks like a nail.” As your knowledge increases, so too should your humility.

    Ed Latimore shares with his readers that “Not Caring What Others Think Is A Superpower.” This is deeply wise advice that generally isn’t followed. But if you do, not only does it free your mind, but also you’ll discover that people aren't thinking of you at all.

    The challenge is to discover a work culture/environment that values results vs. the perception of “hours on the job.”
