Intellectually, people are, fundamentally, herd animals. In other words, individuals often assume group wisdom rather assessing facts and reality themselves. We all know that bicycle helmets are a good safety measure and that wearing seatbelts saves lives, because we just know it. Perhaps as busy people we just ration our attention, and only take the time to [...] Failure happens to us all; have the strength to walk as soon as you recognize that you are failing. Of course this is easy to say but hard to do. A nice post by Chartreuse makes the [...] “Climbing is simple. Ascent is an ideal. Doing becomes understanding. I think of route names as story titles: rich, fleeting and individual. We tell these stories over our modern-day campfires – blogs, Web sites, books and catalogs – in equal parts homage and interest.

So you won’t sell much if you don’t pay the price to build quality. There are also a number of reasons why it’s beneficial for an [...] Marc Andreessen’s blog is well known amongst the high-tech entrepreneurial community to be well-written, insightful, and expert. However, his occasional political posts have been, to put it mildly, sophomoric. (Perhaps they are almost as juvenile as mine).
