Honor Without Envy
Aeschylus, one of the three great Greek writers of tragedy said, "It is the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered."

Without followers, contributors, supporters, and those willing to help when not receiving notoriety there are no leaders.

Oprah Winfrey Biography
The biography of Oprah Winfrey is of the stuff that movies are made.

The Nigerian Context - A Story of Decline: Exploring entrepreneurship in a declining economy
Nigeria is usually referred to as the giant of West Africa in that, with a population estimated at over 100 million, one in every two West Africans is a Nigerian.

Its GDP is actually larger than that of all countries in the African continent with the exception of South Africa. (Adaya, 1998).

Where You Start Is Not Important
I was born in L.A. (that's Lower Alabama). Fortunately, I was raised in Yazoo City, Mississippi. I say "fortunately" because Yazoo City, Mississippi, is the geographical center of the world. Many people don't realize it, but you can start in Yazoo City and go anywhere in the world you want to go. The neat thing is, the maximum distance to any place you wish to go is only 12,000 miles.

Sales Mission Complete
I recently had the great honor and privilege of visiting our United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. I was overwhelmed by the courage and passion of those that occupy this post. They are truly remarkable people and I was struck by how much the disciplines they practice relate to selling. Yes, it might be a stretch to tie what happens at West Point to sales and selling, but not much of a stretch. This group of young people consistently demonstrates at an extraordinary level all of those competencies necessary to succeed in selling: courage, desire, commitment, persistence and ethics. They are sales people in fatigues. They spend their day selling others on the connection between athletics and winning on the battlefield. One of the metrics for success: bringing everyone back alive. That is life or death.

Yesterday evening I had the opportunity for the first time in quite awhile to watch David Letterman - the benefit of being a streak writer in that I was up at 3:00 AM and therefore caught the west coast telecast.
Oprah Winfrey Facts
Ah Oprah, she is a living breathing legend. Political candidates would kill to win her endorsement. Does she ever give it? Nope. Well, there was that one time and the guy got elected President.... . She is more than a talk show host though. Oprah has chops, meaning she might be one of the cleverest individuals of our time. How else could a child born in Mississippi and passed around a family become, literally the most powerful woman in the country?

Number two: Resolved that the new jail be built out of the materials of the old jail. Resolved that the old jail be used until the new jail is finished.”
