I am in the midst of reading Malcolm Gladwell’s book: Outliers.
Already I am loving this book because some of the discussion by the writer explains clearly how people like Bill Gates succeeded. And it’s not because he flunked out! He did something for up to 10,000 hours.
He also disclosed some other successful people who are [...]
I recall sometime ago, I posted this article: The Three Most Dangerous Words where I discussed what are the most beautiful words, the most powerful words, the most dangerous words in the English Language.

I have recently read a book titled: Blink – The power of thinking without thinking by Malcolm Gladwell.
In this book, the author describes a couple of case studies of how people can develop the ability to make a sound and fundamental decision within 2-seconds! It’s called: Blink! Blink and make a decision.
So, I am now [...]
This is one of the better presentation I have seen in recent times, where the objective of the presentation is to generate referrals.

Feel free to download and use it as a guide for your own presentation in a similiar set-up: where the objective of your presentation is [...]
I attended a program some years back called the Landmark Forum where I learned about basic human thinking and feeling.
For most of the part, an average human will base his entire existence on these two lines:
1. The desire to look good

Recently I have had a few BNI members who indicated to me that they want to leave their groups. These are all members in good standing in their respective Chapters and in my own books as well.
