Napoleon Hill Video – Think & Grow Rich Part 1
I read Think and Grow Rich 20 years ago. I thought I understood it at the time. Through a series of serendipities, I’m now re-reading it and realizing how much I really just didn’t get it. I took it in intellectually, but I didn’t really put it into practice — make it a part...

The Twit Network – Funny Parody of Facebook Movie Trailer
By now, you’ve probably seen the trailer for the Facebook movie, The Social Network.

Love Is the Answer
I saw this on Twitter today and it really moved me. I would have retweeted it, but it was too long to, and it would have suffered severely from editing – it’s perfect exactly like it is. Turns out it’s a lyric from a Jack Johnson song, “Better Together”. Enjoy!
The Revolution WILL Be Televised
As context, let’s begin with Gil Scott-Heron’s 1971 classic, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”. While you listen I encourage you to follow the previous link (it will open in a new window) and read about the history of the song and the references in it over at Wikipedia. I wonder if at the...
