So you are hip to all things social media. That’s good because connections matter.
We want you to be able to connect to everyone in our network and we have devised a bunch of ways for you to do so, using whichever platform you choose:
A recent article, in the Economist, compared London and Paris on a variety of fronts. What struck me as the most interesting was the comparison made between the two countries regarding their societal focuses. Paris, it seems, is focused on preserving the past and does so through the restoration of old buildings, preservation of artifacts, etc. London, on the other hand, was shown as a society who is innovative because the article argued there was less to preserve- no gastronomic tradition, per se, no noteworthy skyline, etc. The article then raised a question that I wish to take up in further detail: “How can you create a desire to innovate when the ambient culture is oriented towards preservation?”
Here’s a little secret: I would love to be a great entrepreneur. I would love to have my own company, dynamically shape new and emerging markets and profit from my innovative nature. However, there is a big difference between people who are entrepreneurs (Bill Gates, Guy Kawasaki, Bakery Owners) and people who would love to be entrepreneurs (me).
When I think angels- I see wings and halos. Fault me if you wish, but I was raised in small
I respect Mark Zuckerberg, the guy who created facebook, for a lot of reasons but mostly because he wanted to connect people online- a simple vision, and from it made a $2 billion dollar company.
