Lesson #2: Let The Customers Tell You What They Want
Before MySpace came to be, there was Friendster, a somewhat similar social networking site. But what distinguished the two from each other were their philosophies towards their users. “They had no room for fakesters,” says Anderson. “If a dog or a city or an idea had a page, they would delete it. Could anything better have happened to us? People said, ‘I’m going to go to MySpace because I can do what I want there.’”
TED: Finding Balance
Another TED presentation to share: I spent four days at the annual TED Convention (March 7-10) in Monterey, CA. It was an amazing collection of people, including President Bill Clinton, venture capitalist John Doerr, producer J.J. Abrams, singer Paul Simon, Nobel prize winner Murray Gell-Mann, NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and a whole slew of politicians, executives, investors, and celebrities.

The Philosophies of Work: A Conversation with Derek Sivers of CD Baby

Why Grow? and Other Wisdom from 37Signals
I’ve known the guys at 37Signals for a little while. I first met Jason Fried at SXSW in 2008, and I then got to know David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) over e-mail and in person last year. On a fundamental level, I think, our philosophies just mesh well

The Zen of Leadership
There are many aspects to leadership that parallel the philosophies, concepts, and perspectives of Zen Buddhism. I don't profess to have a great depth of knowledge regarding Zen Buddhism, but from the insights I do have, I can see the application with respect to effective leadership. The parallel exists within the concept of...

The Secret to network-marketing success lies within yourself
Have you spent years believing that your success in the network-marketing business depends on the product you're selling, a marketing system that will diminish your work load or an amazing compensation plan? Consider having the most sought after product in your possession, will you become wealthy? Of course not because unless your product is marketed properly to the world it will be as worthless as sitting in your driveway. If you choose the best company to join, with the most effective marketing system this doesn't mean you will be automatically successful. Why? The answer is simple. Your success depends on you and you only.

How to be a high performance leader
The subject of leadership is the quintessential conversation of our generation, particularly at this time of great social change, commercial and political unrest. I believe leadership, [being a leader] to be a character trait, not simply a title you bestow upon a person or entity, without significant reason and evidence over an extended period of time. True 'leadership' is the ability to inspire action through ones own actions. This feat is not as easy to achieve as the definition suggests. Easy in theory - but ever challenging in practice.

Five Keys for Getting Along With People
Author, Judson Edwards, identified several universal principles for getting along with people. While these keys are important and relevant philosophies to relationships, I have made some modifications to his list. In addition, I’ve also contributed several of my own thoughts in order to speak more clearly about the personal relationship difficulties you may face on an every day basis. I am convinced that if you consistently apply these principles you will improve your relationships at work and home.

Practice Gratitude and Create Well-Being
Gratitude isn’t a new idea; most spiritual practices and philosophies emphasize gratitude and compassion for others. But in recent years gratitude has shifted from being an idea to a concrete tool that people can use to become happier and healthier. This practice focuses on appreciating what others have done for you and de-emphasizes being angry or blaming others for your problems.

Why Play Isn’t Just For Children
Do you like to play? Do you even remember the last time you really played? For many of us, we're just too busy in the whirlwind of working, buying, raising a family, traveling, running errands and other busy tasks that adults do. We often see playing as something that only children do. However, if you study the most successful people on the planet, you see that they include a healthy dose of play into their lives. Play acts as a stress release, helps people be creative, learn to work together and much more. Just like children, adults need to play. Find out the benefits of play and how to incorporate more fun into your days.
Why create time to be alone
But what is the value of spending this alone? Neither the Dalai Lama nor the massage therapist let me know their thoughts, so I did a bit of research. One of the articles that I discovered was by Keith Renninson. He is a Vietnam vet turned motivational speaker and author. He talked about using the time alone to develop a personal life philosophy and then to check in with ourselves on a regular basis to confirm what is working and what isn’t working.

It’s Not Just Who You Know … It’s Who You Associate With!
I am always amazed when I see a couple who has been married for several years and they have adopted each others mannerisms and facial expressions. Sometimes it seems as though they underwent some crazy DNA experiment and were morphing into each other. It's not that difficult to understand how it happens when you think about it. We all share little sayings, inside jokes, private stories, and even similar philosophies on life. After all, your spouse is the person you spend the most time with. Well ... in most cases. :) These same traits, philosophies, and mannersims are transfered into our children as they are being brought up and maturing into adults. Although our children share our DNA and are predisposed to looking like us, there are many other characteristics they pick up from associating with us throughout their formative years.
