Bombtune: Turn the dark ON →

Sometimes you’ll walk into Grand Central when it’s still light outside and shoot out of the exit tunnel into complete darkness.
Going from light to dark in a short period of time is like having the electricity suddenly go out. The eyes flicker to readapt to the new surroundings.
For some, the…

“We still make things.”

Angela Merkel, on Germany’s resilient economy that still prefers manufacturing over finance.
The US could learn a thing or two about the benefits of making stuff for vibrant niches rather than the masses.

Did you know, you can quit your job, you can leave university? You aren’t legally required to have a degree, it’s a social pressure and expectation, not the law, and no one is holding a gun to your head. You can sell your house, you can give up your apartment, you can even sell your vehicle, and…

Being first
When there’s too many people in the room, nothing gets done. Everyone depends on the other to lead.
Action requires few people. Hence, why small meetings are more productive than bigger ones.
Everyone should be held accountable to start. Everyone should be able to pick themselves and contribute to the conversation. Everyone should be able to take responsibility and lead.
The mass is inherently non-collaborative. Anyone that steps up immediately stands out. Audacity is scarce.

The Tao of Dana: Settling Is A Bad Thing →

You know, I am frequently told that I should stop being unrealistic.
I’ve been told:
That if I didn’t have a backup plan I’d never go to college because I was out of my league (but got into Princeton early and declined, went to Stanford)
That if I refuse to settle for a man I don’t want to be…

People always ask me…‘Can I be a model when I grow up?’ And the first answer is, ‘I don’t know, they don’t put me in charge of that.’ But the second answer, and what I really want to say to these little girls is, ‘Why? You know you can be anything — you could be the president of the United States, or the inventor of the next Internet, or a ninja cardio-thoracic surgeon poet, which would be awesome, because you’d be the first one.’
If after this amazing list they are still like, ‘No, No, Cameron, I want to be a model,’ well, then I say, ‘Be my boss,’ because I’m not in charge of anything, and you could be the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, or the CEO of H&M, or the next Steven Meisel.
Saying that you want to be a model when you grow up is akin to saying you want to win the Powerball when you grow up: it’s out of your control, and it’s awesome, and it’s not a career path.
Unfortunately after you’ve gone to school and you have a résumé and you’ve done a few jobs, you can’t say anything anymore. So if you say you want to be the president of the United States and your résumé says, “Underwear model: 10 years,’ people give you a funny look.”

Comfortable silences are good. It’s very nice to be able to just be.
