Freshman year of high school, I was 14 and there were two boys who bullied me pretty bad. They would sneak things into school like knives, rope and other objects and secretly pass them to me in Algebra class with a notes attached like, "go kill yourself." You see, I hated everything about me and they knew it, using it against me. Acne, glasses, braces, and weight issues fueled my sadness. You'd never know that I came from such a dark place with such a bubbly personality today which is why I felt so compelled to share this story of transformation with Jason Lebowitz . You'd also never know that both of those bullies are no longer with us. They each lost the battle mental illness and depression. One at 19 and the other at 25. I forgave them almost instantly through the teasing, knowing how broken they must have been to be so cruel. But to anyone who needs a sliver of hope to drown out any sadness or self-loathing, this is for you. You're a magnificent soul and you deserve happiness, health, and success just as much as the next person. Go love yourself. #chantelshares #fulfillment #mentalhealth …see more

People often ask me what keeps me at Amazon. Aside from awesome coworkers, we have an incredible and constant stream of innovation that I've only been able to find here. Nothing is considered beyond reach, and we constantly encourage each other to keep pushing the envelope, and to achieve things we haven't even thought of yet. This is a perfect example. I didn't work on this project, but I continue to be blown away that Amazon is able to disrupt in such a big way. For the friends and colleagues that helped make this happen - incredibly well done and congrats!! …see more

When reading financial news, remember the three questions to ask - Is the article based on data or opinion? Is it descriptive of past conditions or predictive of the future? Does the article have a testable hypothesis? You must have your own framework for decision-making. Why I read, and write for, CFA Enterprising Investor rather than business news …see more

I am deeply struck by the contrast between the consistent and moving description of President Bush and the silent description of our current president. In a sense, the words civility, decency, respect, cooperative nature, pleasantness, decent, honor and service have lost their connection to the current leader and our body politic. The silent comparison should make us wake up and speak up and out about how we want our leaders to act. OK, that's too optimistic. But, the contrast matters. It signals, It messages. Listen to it. Hear it. Here's a hope it will make us better for it. …see more
