My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, &#8220;Jeff, one day you&#8217;ll understand that it&#8217;s harder to be kind than clever.&#8221;
What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy [...]]]></description>

Recognizing and accepting things as they are now doesn’t have to limit the way you believe things can be later.&#160; For individuals as well as organizations, if properly integrated into the envisioning process, that recognition can ground the planning, the dreaming, and allow the envisioning to stay connected with the core of who and what [...]]]></description>

I had a nice reminder yesterday of the power of perspective, following a horrible travel experience.  My sister, niece, and I were returning to NYC from  a nice and busy trip back to Cincy.  The flight from Cincy to NYC is really only about an hour and twenty minutes or so. [...]]]></description>

Q. What’s your best career advice?		
  A. Don’t be afraid. What I mean by that is lots and lots of decisions are made by fear and they’re made by people who think they have more to lose than they actually have to lose.		
  When you’re just graduating from college, there are so many [...]]]></description>

The reason you&#8217;re  overlooking them is the same reason you&#8217;d have overlooked the idea  of building Facebook in 2004: organic startup ideas usually don&#8217;t  seem like startup ideas at first.  We know now that Facebook was  very successful, but put yourself back in 2004.  Putting undergraduates&#8217;  profiles online [...]]]></description>

Ok this post could get very technical and nerdy, but I promise to do my best to prevent that, and I hope I&#8217;m able to get the message across. First a little setup.
Julie and I moved into a new apartment this past summer, a new place that we really love.  When we moved [...]]]></description>

&#8220;In a startup, you&#8217;re going to have moments when 2, sometimes 4 tires are off the road. It happens to everyone, expect it.&#8221;  Great advice from a friend and now advisor to my latest startup.  The way he said it, so matter of fact, really felt like he was giving us permission over [...]]]></description>

Several years ago I taught an undergraduate class in business leadership at Queens College. From the beginning I had, what to the students seemed a revolutionary policy: You always got a chance to re-write your essay. If you didn’t like the grade you got the first time, you could incorporate my suggested changes (or not) [...]]]></description>

22.	One successful entrepreneur I know well has a wonderful quality, namely that he never, ever compares himself to other people. He just does his own thing, which actually serves him rather well. Just because his competitor has bought himself a bigger motor boat, doesn’t mean he feels the need have a bigger motor boat. This [...]]]></description>
