Thoughtless James Watson was seeking cheap publicity over Stupid Africa comment
| |
| As thoughtless as it sounds, James Watson knew only too well that being controversial would get all the media publicty ever thought of (cheaply); the Nobel prize not withstanding. Watson found a perfect opportunity to retire by claiming that black people less intelligent than white people and that it's delusional to assume "equal powers of reason" are shared across racial groups. |

Practice Uncommon Appreciation
| |
| If asked, could you name the five wealthiest people in the world, or five people who have one the Nobel Prize, or the last five Academy Award winners for best actor and actress? The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. When the applause dies, the awards tarnish, and achievements are forgotten, no one cares about who won which award. |

Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
| |
| They may not win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but shrewdly composed Jennifer Lopez lyrics are becoming something of an anthem for a new generation of youth in the new millennium. Much like Bob Dylan’s “Times They Are A Changin’” defined the hopes and struggles of his own time, Jennifer Lopez lyrics are an iconic representation of the lives of today’s adolescents. |

4.1 Institutions, markets and development: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| One of the leading thinkers about the importance of institutions and
rules to making markets work for development, Nobel laureate Professor
Douglass North, has explained that societies evolve institutions to “reduce
uncertainty by providing a structure to everyday life”. He argues that this is
essential to organizing the productive division of labour and that “institutions
affect the performance of the economy by their effect on the costs of
exchange and production”. He also stresses that many of the rules guiding
daily behaviour are informal and that effective institutions for governing
markets are a blend of socially accepted norms and laws underpinned by
shared values. |

Interview of Mohammad Yunus of Grameen Bank
| |
| I found this interview of Mohammad Yunus of Grameen Bank. His idea to provide “micro loans” to poor people to jumpstart their entrepreneurship truly is changing the world. In fact, Yunus won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for his work. |

The Value of Your Personal Brand
| |
| When Barack Obama recently won the Nobel Peace Prize, he proved that your own personal brand can deliver results beyond measure. Whether or not he actually deserved the accolade has been well debated elsewhere. The bottom line is, when it comes to brand, ‘perception is reality’. |

Book Review: The Yes Factor - Secrets of Persuasive Communication
| |
| Why do so many authors purport to reveal secretes of various kinds in their new books? I think if I had secrets-perhaps the secrets to a better body or longer life, greater happiness, or more persuasive communication-I would not waste my time and go straight for the Nobel Prize. At the very least I would try to make a killing by patenting the idea! |

A Battle for the Mind
| |
| Almost every person is born with virtually unlimited potential in terms of their ability to develop. Not everyone can be (or wants to be) an elite athlete or a Nobel Prize winner, but almost anyone can mature to be the person that he or she wants to be. The problem is that, in many cases, this maturing is negatively impacted by our self-talk. And much self talk arises out of feedback we experience. Third Generation Leadership operates in a different mind space. |

They Sure Make Oakland Look Like Paradise!
| |
| A few years ago my company sponsored a sales contest (back when companies were allowed to do business by selling things). It was a big deal. First prize was a week-long vacation in Hawaii. Second prize was a week in San Diego. Third prize was a week in Palm Springs. There was also a consolation prize for next-to-last place: a week in Oakland.... |
