Overheard

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”

“I’m not bitter about what happened to me as a child, and my mother was instrumental in keeping me from being so. ... She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that’s directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that he gave us. What she taught me is that the deliverance God offers you from pain is not no pain—it’s that the pain is actually a gift. What’s the option? God doesn’t really give you another choice.”

After over a decade of user testing, it is clear that the way we search the web is similar to the way we would search our home for valuables as it was burning to the ground. Frantically.

“We must shift the focus of companies back to the customer and away from shareholder value ... The shift necessitates a fundamental change in our prevailing theory of the firm… The current theory holds that the singular goal of the corporation should be shareholder value maximization. Instead, companies should place customers at the center of the firm and focus on delighting them, while earning an acceptable return for shareholders.”

“We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.”

I will definitely try this out. I found your blog accidentally while looking for the other "unvarnished" (after seeing it reviewed on the Today Show). I'm glad I made the decision to stay and view your blog instead of looking at the other site.

I also found this site by accident, but it's interesting. Takes a little getting used to reading left to right instead of up and down, but cool, nonethe less. I'll keep reading!

I guess happiness can mean many things to many people. some think that money can help a little. Just the otehr day , having lunch with my colleagues. We did suddenly discussed this issue. Happiness can be the girl you dated love you so much. Funny how love can survive and is blind. Happiness could seems to be trust that someone gives you the confidence and maybe you too can be happy just been a King for a day, though it is not everlasting. My colleague mentioned that happiness is also been in a state of without having any woriies in life. they told me to do a research and perhaps wite a thesis about this interesting subject. I am think of it now
