Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. And that’s absolutely true. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work.

Pure plastic. I did not even look at the price. I was delighted. How cheap! I walked to the counter and paid. I was slightly surprised...
I can see yesterday’s email hurt. Well, yes. I’ll say it again. You will never do well in life with a PowerPoint. Not long ago, I was involved in a process where the abuse of PowerPoint should have been investigated by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Sublime charts. Flourishes everywhere. Not a single letter was out of perfect alignment with the rest of its little letter friends. Like one of those choirs that goes on The X Factor, or any of the other crap they show on...
When I was a CEO, I loved it. I would prepare a presentation. Just enough to keep the Board informed, but not too much. You wanted to avoid uncomfortable questions. Then, during the meeting, depending on how things were going, I would go deeper… or not. Always keeping one eye on the clock. Meeting over. Board satisfied. Great lunch.
