There are thousands more myths, aren’t there? You could add some. Or you could set about deciding what is going to matter. And then, you could do. Something.

On the important subject of curiosity:
If you are, you breath. If you breath, you talk. If you talk, you ask. If you ask, you think. If you think, you search. If you search, you experience. If you experience, you learn. If you learn, you grow. If you grow, you wish. If you wish, you find. If you find, you doubt. If you doubt, you question. If you question, you understand. If you understand, you know. If you know, you want to know more… And if you want to know more, you are alive…

I truly believe that most of the time...less is more.
Sometimes, certain things viewed in certain ways have
the ability to make an impact on our life in a positive way.
Eleanor Roosevelt said it best,
"It is not fair to ask of others, what you are unwilling to do yourself"
This quote pretty much sums up what this great little
3 minute movie is all about...enjoy!
I wish I had learned this lesson when I was 20, not 40…

Ask Better Questions
If you want better answers, ask better questions. I most recently heard that by listening to a Tony Robbins CD (1), but I’ve heard it before. The thing is, with all good advice, if you don’t hear it often, it falls under the waves. So, I’m here to repeat it.
“If you want better answers, ask better questions.”

Tangible Goals
By writing goals onto paper, magic happens. They go from being abstract to being real. They go from being nice-to-have to being things-to-do.
At the beginning of 2010, I put down several goals, including some financial ones. They were a stretch, and not SMART goals, but close enough. As I started hitting them, I saw that I could do even bigger things, if I wanted to work on those goals for 2011. Combined with my ideas about asking better questions, I found that you can really get far if you write your goals down.

Silence as a Business Edge
I worked with silence yesterday. I didn’t look at my email until after 11. I didn’t check into Twitter until much later. I didn’t play the radio in the car. I didn’t turn on my amazing Sonos S5 player at my office when I got there in the afternoon. I just stayed silent.

BMW Will Integrate iPads | 10awesome.com
This is really cool!
BMWs will soon feature iPad docking bays on back seats, which swivel and rotate. Using ConnectedDrive, the car will act as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing iPads and other devices to connect online. Bye bye to those displays...

Tilt-Shift Van Gogh | 10awesome.com
While Vincent Van Gogh was an Impressionist painter, I've always found his artwork to be pretty surreal, with his daub-paint effect warping landscapes. Artist Serena Malyon bent their reality even more, adding tilt-shift photography effects to 16 of his popular works. Here you can see 11 beautiful examples:

Taking On A Business Partner? Avoid These 4 Common Mistakes
At first glance, taking on a partner seems like a great idea. You’ll be combining forces with a colleague who probably has complementary strengths and can help with the tough decisions. Sure, you've heard horror stories of badly-matched business partners before, but you two are perfect for each other.
Unfortunately, the fact is that over half of all business partnerships fail, according to small business expert Andrew Sherman, a partner with Jones Day (in Washington, D.C.). But many of those failures could have been avoided with smart planning upfront — something small-business partners often fail to do.
To increase the odds that your partnership works out, your best move is to familiarize yourself with the typical reasons for failure and what to do to make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

INFO: More great quotes from Albert Einstein | Reviews, Tests & Technical Information
Here's just a few to begin with. What an amzing man!
“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”
“God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.”
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
“Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
“Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.”
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
“A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”

5 Twitter Tips You May Not Know
As Twitter turns the corner on the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” and heads full speed ahead into the “Trough of Disillusionment,” I thought I’d share 5 tips that have continued to make Twitter a meaningful, useful tool. Some of these you may know, some may be new. This is aside from new features coming like Twitter Lists and the ability to report spammers directly from the web version. If you know of others I’d love to hear them.
