The Black Sheep of the Family: Thomas Watson Jr.’s Early Years
When Thomas Watson Jr. stepped into his father’s shoes as president of IBM in 1952, he knew they would be hard ones to fill. Until not long before, Watson Jr.’s life had consisted in large part of drinking and partying. IBM had always been a part of his life, but only in the context of his father’s job. Was he ready to take the reins of this multinational company? Could he break out from his father’s shadow and create his own legacy?

Lesson #4: Mistakes are a Must on the Road to Success
“Only those who are asleep make no mistakes,” says Kamprad. “There are few people who have made so many fiascos in my life as I have.”
Do It Yourself: Kamprad’s Guide To Success
“What else could I do at my age?” Kamprad asks. “Grow tomatoes in an allotment behind the house? I don’t know how to do anything apart from sell furniture. I am your classic, specialized idiot.” From one of the most remote, poverty-stricken corners of Sweden to becoming one of the world’s richest men, Kamprad broke the rules of retail when he created IKEA. And, it worked. Just how did Kamprad do it?
Lesson #5: Dogged Persistence Makes the Best Pitchman
Popeil was just sixteen years old when he began selling his father’s products on Chicago’s infamous Maxwell Street. His workday would start at 5 a.m., when he used to arrive at the market and spend one hour cutting and preparing fifty pounds each of onions, cabbages, and carrots, and more than one hundred pounds of potatoes each day. After that, Popeil would demonstrate and try to sell his products from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. On average during his 11-hour work days, Popeil would bring in $500 on a daily basis.

How to Test-Drive Friends and Irritate People
Sometimes you need to make friends and influence people. Other times, you should just test drive them and push their buttons.

Forgiveness Technique
Adults with ADHD typically experience more criticism and “unpleasant” situations in their life than their non-ADHD peers. These experiences begin as a child, through teenage years and into adulthood. Not only are these experiences disagreeable at the time, but also the memories of these situations can still affect you years after it occurred. A memory can pop up into your mind while you are driving along, or in the supermarket line. What “Mrs. Smith” said about your Maths when you were eight years old, or the nasty comment Susy (your last, but only girlfriend) said about you.
Midlife and Catastrophe Consciousness
The mathematical concept of 'catastrophe' suggests a sudden, irreversible change within a dynamic system. In midlife, we face the ultimate catastrophe.
Sharing Yourself
An article of 1044 words describing the process of moving from the lone ranger mentality to connecting with others by letting people in and letting more of yourself out.

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.

Etiquette and Teen Texting
There seems to be some confusion about our role as parents and educators regarding our children's use of technology. In other words how do we teach technology etiquette to Gen Y-ers who are characterized as "knowing it all" especially when it comes to technology? After all, they aren't called the Net Generation for nothing! Discover the benefits and pitfalls of teen texting and 3 easy rules we can teach our teens to use technology responsibly and respectfully.

Dress Up Jennifer Lopez
In 2003, General Growth Properties – one of the largest owners of shopping centres in the U.S. – conducted a nationwide survey of 2,000 teenage shoppers to find out who they considered the best dressed celebrities. Topping the list for female celebrities was none other than Latin actor and pop sensation Jennifer Lopez. While she was followed closely by Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne, it appears that more young girls wish they could dress up Jennifer Lopez style more than anyone else. But, what is it about this celebrity’s fashion sense that makes her the envy of women everywhere? What goes through her head when she is picking out an outfit for herself?

Is there a Place for Destiny in Your Life?
I recently read an article online that asked the question, "Where will you be in 25 years?" then invited me to first consider where I was 25 years ago as an way of introducing the role of destiny in our lives. I found the exercise interesting and worthwhile so I thought I'd share it with you. Where were you 25 years ago in 1983? Me, I was 35 years old. I'd graduated from veterinary college 9 years previously, and I had purchased my own veterinary clinic (a former out patient clinic of a larger hospital) for the rip roaring price of one dollar, which was about all the savings I had at the time. The rest of the purchase price, if memory serves some $26,000 was financed at the local bank. Not long after, the loan that started at 12% shot up to 19%.
Books, Licensing and Franchising
Recently, while visiting a book store, I came across the Self Help Section, there were books with almost every possible book, How to win friends and influence people, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneur, Guide to Investing, Unleash the Power Within and even one on how to author a book, Guerilla Marketing for Freshers and many many more similar titles. Since, there was an entire section dedicated for Self Help Books, It does seem that this is one of the popular categories. Several of these books are New York Times Bestsellers and so on.

Lowering Auto Insurance Premiums for Young Drivers
These younger insureds cost more for auto insurance, since they cost the insurance companies more. Teenage inexperienced drivers have more accidents than older drivers with more time on the road. There is no getting around that fact.

Up In Smoke
Recently, I saw two attractive teenage girls smoking cigarettes. I watched them and it was obvious that they were new smokers. As a father who has watched two of his daughters go through the pains of death trying to quit smoking, I wanted to give the two young women a warning and a lecture. I didn’t do it, because they could rightfully have said it was none of my business. As an employer, I looked at those two girls and knew that it would definitely jeopardize their opportunities for getting some jobs. Many companies do not hire smokers. I looked at them as future parents and knew what that smoke would do to their babies, should they continue to smoke and ever become mothers.

Facts About Young Drivers Car Insurance
It costs more to insure teenage drivers than more mature ones, but there are ways to keep the costs lower than they would otherwise be. Even new drivers can drive in a mature fashion and avoid accidents. They can also avoid driving certain types of cars. They can also make sure they qualify for all discounts available to them.
The spirit of the 21st century is partly about laying to rest the ghosts of the 20th century
My Grandparents did not foresee spaceships, computers, cell phones or the Internet. My Grandparents would not have foreseen the scale of population growth either. When my Grandfathers were entering their teenage years in 1911 there was under 2 billion people on earth. Now just 100 years later there is around 7 billion! 2 billion was sustainable. 7 billion is not, let alone the 10 billion predicted for 2050. Today around a third of the world’s people live in poverty. We made great and arguably unprecedented progress in the 20th century. So far we have failed to manage the associated risks and in many ways we are like a runaway train running out of track very quickly. We must change our ways before it is too late.
