The Power of the Mind to Achieve
One of my favorite quotes from Henry David Thoreau is this; "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." It is a chilling thought, and it is tempting to disregard it except for the fact that it is the absolute truth.

Creating Space - Your "Someday" Could Be Your Today Or Your Yesterday - You Choose
What is it about getting rid of piles of unread magazines, tossing out that accumulated junk hiding in drawers, donating clothes that haven't been worn in years, and letting go of old projects waiting to get our attention? Why do we allow these "someday" things to take up so much space in our environment and in our head?

Creating Goals or Building Castles In The Sky
That statement implies fanciful daydreaming - unrealistic, fantastic. And yet, when someone criticized Henry David Thoreau's many visions as "castles in the sky" he pointed out - "The sky is the place to build them. You must design your castles in the air first - only then should you can get to work on the foundations."

Diamonds In Your Backyard
This is a story about David. David was a very ambitious and proud man, who was desperate to be very rich. To this end he traveled the globe, spending years away from home searching for a diamond mine. He knew that once he owned a diamond mine his dream of riches would come true. Unfortunately David ended his days neither rich nor happy. After he died the local condominium developer bought David’s property and started to dig the foundation. And what did he find? He found that for all these years David was sitting right on top of a very large, very rich diamond mine. I tell this story to remind us to look first in our own back yards for the glittering opportunities.

Finding An Entrepreneurial Lifeline In A Life Of Quiet Desperation
Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." I would agree with that, but in these modern times, women must be added into the equation. I believe that is the people living these lives of quiet desperation that is fueling the current boom in online and offline entrepreneurs.
10 Steps for Your Sales Force to Survive and Thrive in the Recession
I was in the pool, playing catch with our six-year old son, when Henry began a "dialog" with me. He said, "You can't play catch in the pool. It's against the rules." I was stunned, but apologized, said I wasn't aware of that rule and removed the football from the pool. There was another guy in the pool and he mentioned to me that the pool rules did not include an exclusion about playing catch. I mentioned that to Henry and he became irate because he owns one of the resort's units, wrote the rules himself, and said, "It better be on that sign!" So what's wrong with this picture?

"Economic Reform" Bringing New Heat To Election Summer
Now that the political parties' primaries have largely ended, and with less than three months before the crucial mid-term elections in the United States, the campaigning for America's heart and soul is underway in earnest. U.S. voters will be asked nothing less than what kind of nation they want to be, and there is a crisp divide between the two competing ideologies on offer. One side offers a governing philosophy of high taxes and high (some would say outrageous) spending centered around so-called "entitlements." The other side wants you to agree with Henry David Thoreau, who said "That government is best which governs least," and seeks smaller government, low taxes, and reliance on private-sector entrepreneurialism to drive economic growth and prosperity.

Key 2011 Hacker Prevention Lessons
I recently came across this article on the “Top hacker disasters of 2011”, written by David Aitel of Immunity Inc. David has put together a brilliant article that lists some of the high profile attacks and five lessons to be learned. One key point that you should notice in this article is that there was no single security failure points that caused the company’s breach. The points of attack ranged from technology being cracked to poor security practices within a corporation. After reviewing David’s 5 lessons, I wanted to comment on each to add a little more insight.
