Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I Wanted To Change The World
By Unknown Monk, 1100 A.D.When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

The continuous reminder to look within for happiness, growth and meaning.
My pal Buster (yep, real name) just released an amazing iPhone application for foodies. Locavore detects your current location and lets you know what local fruits and vegetables are in season. Not only that, it shows you where the closest greenmarkets are located and has recipes for each food from Epicurious. (Learn More)awesome.
Can’t wait till these guys get major funding.
Nothing will work, but everything might. Now is the time for experiments, lots and lots of experiments, each of which will seem as minor at launch as craigslist did, as Wikipedia did, as octavo volumes did

Why does Wall St’s business as usual seem to be gaming the rules, gambling away other people’s money, and cooking the books to hide the losses? Because Wall St’s operating system has a single instruction: my job is to rip your face off.

Everyone loves to be a shepherd of talent
“The act of finding a mentor is actually the act of showing someone you have talent and they can help you find it. It’s very, very hard to land in the limelight on your own. So many studies of success – from Fortune 500 executives to startup entrepreneurs – all show that a key factor is finding people to help you navigate a system that requires many more skills than any one, single person could have.
If you ever wonder what you bring to someone who is mentoring you, look at the faces of the three (British Idol) judges when they realize (after four or five notes) that Susan (Boyle) is phenomenal. The joy on their faces is contagious. That’s a big reason people like to watch that video clip: the moment when you see someone is very talented is so rewarding. It’s a moment full of excitement and promise and you get to be a part of it because the person is asking you for help.”
“A hallmark of talent is loving to practice. And Susan Boyle’s story is the narrative of the hard work that talent takes. Our lives are first, and foremost, about getting up every day and practicing what we love. What you get paid for, what you get honored for, that is secondary. And success comes for those who work hard.”
The Brazen Careerist has been a great source of personal inspiration.
With a quality as elusive as cool, there is the temptation to assume that it must come naturally—that it cannot be forced or forged. But the dirty little secret of our new president’s cool is that no element of it came with ease. Obama achieved his laid-back, too-cool-to-care persona by being a committed grind: He spent years working through his insecurities, learning to control his emotions, and sanding down the rough edges of his personality.
