Imagine a Bigger Market and You'll See a Bigger Market
Scientists in two studies at the University of Virginia discovered that softball players and golfers who had good days perceived balls and golf holes as larger than the players who had bad days.

The Bozo Explosion
It's worth 4 minutes to read Guy Kawasaki's "What I learned from Steve Jobs." He lists 12 lessons not to be lost or forgotten -- worthy, because unlike other such articles, Guy has been inside the tent and experienced first hand what it was like to work with Jobs (he was the chief evangelist of Apple).
