It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better.
The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs […]
I know I shouldn’t be surprised when someone poses this question, but I continue to be. In of all places the WJS, I saw it on Monday the 18th. I paraphrase. “Can you suggest a business that has good potential for growth with low risk?” I hope this person is just suffering from naiveté about […]
“the great moderation” that is the term that economists have dubbed the current period of reduced economic volatility (Ahead of the Tape, The Wall Street Journal, 12/18/06, C1).

There was a very intriguing article in Investor’s Business Daily on Wednesday, December 13. It was an interview with Shirley Ann Jackson, President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, With Boomers Retiring, U.S. Tech Industry Faces ‘Quiet Crisis’; http://www.investors.com/editorial/IBDArticles.asp?rtsec=17&artnum=1&issue=20061213&rss=1

I’m not against giving business associates gifts. I just always felt that business gift giving for the holidays is a load of crap. The bottle of booze or box of grapefruit for a client was cheesy.
If you were a good vendor then you gave you clients the best service and the best deal you […]
Today’s (12/9/06) Wall Street Journal has an entire section on boomers and/or “retirees”. It’s interesting and has a few cogent points. The best one is that you need to know your financial situation. That seems sort of obvious if you are planning to start or buy a business of your own. The article provides a […]

Now for a few words about the positive health affects of yoga. Right at this point my wife rolls her eyes. My enthusiasm over the health benefits I’ve gotten from it can be a bit overbearing.
First, let’s get rid of some misconceptions my wife and friends have about my personal practice of yoga. I am […]
