Figure out what you’re so passionate about that you’d be happy doing it for 10 years, even if you never made any money from it. That’s what you should be doing.<br />2. Always be true to yourself.<br />3. Figure out what your values are and live by them, in business and in life.<br />4. Rather than focus on work-life separation, focus on work-life integration.<br />5. Don’t network. Focus on building real relationships and friendships where the relationship itself is its own reward, instead of trying to get something out of the relationship to benefit your business or yourself.<br />6. Remember to maximize for happiness, not money or status.<br />7. Get ready for rejection.<br />8. Success unshared is failure. Give back — share your wealth.<br />9. (A secret so powerful, we simply cannot tell you)<br />10. Successful people do all the things unsuccessful people don’t want to do.<br /><br />source:<br />Robert Frank<br />The Wealth Report, October 28, 2011 <br />http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2011/10/28/billionaires-share-their-secrets-to-success/<br /><br />ht:<br /><a href="http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/11/billionaires-top-10-list-for-success/">The Big Picture</a>metameristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226487967115279195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167730.post-34060166301788788262011-11-22T21:33:00.002-06:002011-11-22T21:36:45.254-06:00Going In Style<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZWzsyJcxdSM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />RIP: Lee Strasberg (1901-1982), Art Carney (1918-2003), George Burns (1896-1996).metameristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226487967115279195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167730.post-53639400553457539302011-11-21T07:27:00.004-06:002011-11-21T07:32:47.550-06:00The DescendantsExcellent!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CWHNXJ1K4yA" allowfullscreen="" width="420" frameborder="0" height="270"></iframe><br /><br />"Expertly mixing tears and laughs with the sort of alchemy not seen since "Terms of Endearment," this superbly written, directed, acted, and yes, Oscar-friendly movie perfectly captures the blackly comic insanity that can overtake a family forced to confront an impending death." - New York Post, Lou Lumenick<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/an_oscar_ascendancy_in_descendants_5xYv3GiNciPiBMzrGvr2YL?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=">full review</a>]metameristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226487967115279195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167730.post-30706853590697661472011-11-20T22:52:00.000-06:002011-11-20T22:53:27.843-06:00Downton AbbeyExcellent!<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2M3moEeErr8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>metameristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226487967115279195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167730.post-35852768589357765462011-11-18T23:20:00.001-06:002011-11-18T23:26:03.227-06:00Otherwise"This is a poem of gratitude about the simple pleasures of life.
