Isn’t it amazing how the simple beauty of the sun shining can change our outlook? After a long difficult winter I understand the phrase “hope springs eternal.”

It isn’t only the appearance…

Topic: For anyone looking for some perspective on this fine Friday: e with industry and commerce each day. I wish you all the very best! Here it is: An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, "Only a little while." The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" The Mexican said, "With this I have more than enough to support my family's needs." The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" The fisherman replied "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life." The banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat: With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor; eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles and eventually New York where you will run your ever-expanding enterprise." The fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?" To which the banker replied, "15 to 20 years." "But what then?" asked the Mexican. The American laughed and said "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions." "Millions?...Then what?" The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."…; Added by Jerry Albright at 10:39am on March 6, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Gen Y Boosters Are Dumb': ctions/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3486473n&channel=/sections/60minutes/videoplayer3415.shtml ) Yet, others are jumping out of their skin to say how wonderfuly involved and dedicated they are ( http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-10-23-gen-next-cover_x.htm ) - This could be a good place to mention that almost all of the Assistant Directors in the (International) organization I work for are under 30. I would just like to point out that little is really known about Gen Y. Keep in mind that the oldest in Gen Y are just now entering the workforce (mid-20's), and the youngest are just about to enter kindergarten. I think it is unrealistic to classify people based on their generation. People are different; some are highly active while others are apathetic, and I believe it has little to do with their birth year.…; Added by Vegan_Atticus at 3:20pm on November 25, 2008

Comment on: Blog Post 'Tips for Motivation/Burnout': ted yesterday when you jumped into the Bountyjobs thread announcing that anyone who does splits is more or less an idiot. Funny how when I just went to review those comments (I've got all kinds of free time...) that you've deleted your entire "contribution" to the thread. The general gist of your input gave me the idea that all anyone had to do was stroll on over to one of your many esteemed internet properties, drop the job order on there - and keep tons of cash rolling in. There was a kid who came over here a month or two ago. He announced something to the effect of us old schoolers being run out of town by social media. Hilarity ensued. He hasn't been back.....…; Added by Jerry Albright at 2:19pm on January 13, 2011
