07.19.09Never say never.Tom Watson had an awesome week. As a 59-year old golfer he showed at the British Open golf tournament in Turnberry, Scottland that anything can be done with a little belief in your powers. This guy not only performed well, qualified all the way to the finals, but also came close to winning it. At 59! WOW. What a legend. If only the homeowners who started today's mess would have the same spirit, there would be no mess. The point is to never stop participating in life, and contributing what you best can. And this way you will be another Tom Watson in whatever you do, even ...

06.13.09Is your glass half full or half empty?Today's economy is not only bad on financial levels it had a far worse effect on our emotions - we stopped believing in our capabilities and that crisis is far worse than the foreclosures.

It said : "I love books" (with an artistic heart too) The point here is : "Do you provide your clients/audience with something to love?" Would they go out ...

03.28.09Fight the system.I just came back fom Germany where I was giving presentations to senior high school students about option of studying in England. What struck me is that there was no spark. No curiosity, no interest, slight emotion. I started noticing how the eduction system works over there and got the answer. "ORNUNG" - the german correctness and almost obsessive accuracy. That's what kills inspiration, creativity and innovation. What is there to learn for you? Don't over obsess about your management,hr, sales, distribution, stock or busines plan. In fact don't stress about ANY system. Its the people who make things happen, not the systems. Embrace empathy, innovation, motivation, inspiration and CrEaTivIty. Thats how ...
