Con frecuencia vemos como se atribuye al talento de tal o cual persona su éxito. “Bill Gates es un superdotado, por eso es el hombre más rico del mundo”. “Jack Welch es un genio, por eso lideró GE.” etc. etc. etc. Pero algunas investigaciones recientes tienden a apuntar que el talento innato no es la causa que explica el éxito en los negocios. No se ha podido asociar todavía ningún gen al talento para los ...

This past June, I wrote a post titled How Many of Us Find Our True Talent? It was a look at whether people tend to land in professions that fit their “highest and best” talents: My own theory is that each of have talents that are uniquely strong in us. For some, these talents would put them on the world stage. For most of us, they’d probably vault us to the top of a particular ...

It’s been an interesting trip. I passed out on the plane while flying to Heathrow, came too looking up at the lavatory door, thinking how much more comfortable the floor is than the seats in economy. Then I got up and did it all over again. The things I do for attention. They gave me oxygen and tea to for the nausea, but nothing for my bruised ego. I had lunch in London with my ...

Tegenwoordig kunnen de digitale camera's niet genoeg megapixels hebben lijkt het wel. De nieuwe Canon 5D MarkII en de Sony Alpha A900 zijn zo megamonsters. De vraag is echter of je die echt nodig hebt. Want, behalve het voordeel van een grote foto, heb je vanzelfsprekend ook enkele nadelen: algemeen worden lagere iso-waarden minder goed (bevatten meer ruis - dit zal wel verbeteren naar de toekomst toe-) maar vooral: grotere foto's wil zeggen: meer verwerkingen ...

Last week, Bill Gates was all set to leave India in his private jet from the Jodhpur Airport, when trouble struck. The Jodhpur airport was under repairs since mid-April and the authorities ordered that no flight could take off after 4 pm. While security officials knew that the light from Bill’s aircraft was sufficient for pilots to take-off, the local airbase officials were not prepared to take a chance. So the authorities arranged for more ...

Los gallitos de Silicon Valley: buceando por el nuevo archivo fotográfico de la revista LIFE alojado en Google me aburría y me he dicho “a ver quien es el gallo del corral en Silicon Valley?”. Los resultados saltan a la vista, Bill Gates aparece en 11 portadas mientras que Steve Jobs lo hace en 7. Otros con los que he probado, en los 5 minutos que he dedicado a tan árdua tarea, son Sergei Brin ...

Hey Bill Gates! Nice call! I like this ad a lot more than I liked the Seinfeld ones, and judging by the blog pickup, the Internet likes it better too. It's called self-referential humor, and it's the 21st century equivalent of that Volkswagen lemon ad that we all know about because of Mad Men.

Day 323. Don't look now, but the gift-giving Holidays are just around the corner.But it's okay, because you can make candles. Cheaply (or for free!) with your crockpot.I love candles, especially inexpensive ones, and scented with food: vanilla, cookie dough, pumpkin pie, apple cinnamon, coffee, and gingerbread. I am the happiest after lighting a yummy-scented candle.For a while, I was getting up at 4am, and drank coffee in the dark with a few lit candles ...
