A Father And Son discussion

I found that passage Funny:

¨Make sure the top is closed you don't want that bag breaking open and spilling garbage all over the floor. That would just be a nightmare to clean up!¨

I dragged one of the bags across the floor toward the door. ¨Son, don't drag that bag! You'll tear the bottom and we'll have garbage all over the place. I just warned you about that.¨

¨You said check the tops,¨ I said. ¨Yes but it should go without saying that you can't drag a garbage across the floor.¨

He was wrong. I'd seen the commercials for Hefty garbage bags on TV. ¨They don't break.¨

We Don't Want Lots Of Customers. We Want Lots Of The Right Customers.

Most companies seem to want as many customer as they can get. At 37 signals, we don't want lots of customers. We want lots of the right customers. Our goal is to maximize profits, not market share.

We also want to maximize happiness, for our customer and for ourselves. The more people you have using your products, and the more people you have working at your company, the harder it becomes to keep everyone happy all the time.

So when we set out to put a price tag on Draft, we decided not to pay attention to what what the other drawing apps sell for. We didn't look to compete on price.

Your Mind Is Stuck, For Better or Worse, In Your Body.

Your mind, after all, is where all the thoughts and hopes and dreams and decisions of life take place. But your mind is stuck, for better or worse, in your body. It is your body that has to live out that life you so desire.

Peter Walsh
From the book: Enough Already
Clear The Emotional And Mental Clutter to create the life you want.

When You're Healthy

When you're healthy you barely notice the complex systems that enable you to grow, move, think, eat, and otherwise make the most of your life. But when your health fails you, life comes to a halt. A flu, a broken leg, an allergy attack. You have a million things to do, but when something goes wrong you have to stop and give your body the attention it demands.

En fait, nous sommes en permanence dans le brouillard parce que nous n'arrivons pas à nous dépêtrer du trop. C'est inédit. Nos cerveaux sont frappés du syndrome de l'obésité. Il y a trop à bouffer et tout le monde s'empiffre.

Having audacity creates change. Audacity creates businesses, and art, and world ranked athletes. It creates best selling authors, award winning actors, and awe inspiring activists.
