The Value of Imperfect Focus

When you’re on the ball and the path is clear as to what you’re doing and why, you are said to be in a state of focus. When you’re dropping the ball and the path is littered with stuff you end up doing, you are said to be in a state of non-focus. When you […]

Think Different, Achieve Different

When one goes traveling, the getting there and back offers some downtime. I used to take that time to either decompress from what I learned during my hectic travel schedule or re-evaluated where I was at in my life. But a few years back, something was different when I attempt3d to do that. I found that

And read it I did.1 The timing of this book’s release couldn’t have been better, considering my foray into full

The New PlayStation 3 Advertisement (Parody)
