ASK YOURSELF, ‘WHY AM I DOING THIS?’ Confusion and ambivalence are part of being human. “If you want to be more productive, stop and figure out what you are doing and why it is important to you,” asserts Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed. Who cares how efficient you are if you don’t know where you are going? Revolt against busyness. It is nothing more than aimless activity for the sake of activity.

After 14 days on a ventilator, my best friend has been extubated and placed on a BiPAP machine. He is still in the ICU and his condition is still critical, but he is alive, and there is hope, and for this I am deeply thankful. I am sharing this with you because 14 days ago I was heartbroken to learn that my best friend from childhood, my true brother from another mother had willfully ignored the warnings from the WHO, CDC, and the “liberal” media. He was sure that the severity of the disease and the scope of the problem was being “hyped” for political reasons. He chose political rhetoric over science – if he lives, he will never be the same. Again, please don’t make the same mistake. On a personal note, thanks to those of you who reached out to offer support and prayers and positive thoughts. It meant the world to me. Stay safe. And, if you have a choice, please stay home! #coronavirus #science #covid19 …see more

#Startups thrives on connecting the dots, creating newer paradigms with fresh ideas and possibilities. To achieve growth in this fast-changing world, disruptive innovation is crucial. Excerpts from #ArtOfInnovation by Guy Kawasaki - Jump to the next curve - Don't try incremental changes.🏄 - Great products polarize people - Try to make a segment of the population very happy rather than trying to appeal to everyone and being mediocre.😍 - Let a hundred flowers blossom - Customers will decide ultimate use cases. 🔎👑 - Don't worry, be crappy - Ship your product. Don't wait to perfect your revolutionary innovation. 📦 - Listen, Learn and Churn - Ignore naysayers while innovating but once your product is in the market; listen, learn and churn. 👂💎 …see more
