Yahoo Inc.‘s $1.1 billion deal for Tumblr Inc. is a fairy-tale ending for the blogging site, which fetched a rich price despite its meager revenue. Many other highflying Web startups may not be as lucky. Yahoo has a history of bad deal making and acquiring companies that it never capitalizes on such as Flickr and Geocities [Flickr now being revamped by Yahoo to make it “awesome again”]. Moreover let us not forget a few years ago the botched deal to […]

You can have the best plan in the world, full of timelines, specific outcomes and contingency plans. But if you’re not willing to take that first step, your plan will just hang on the wall like flypaper. Action creates opportunity. Action builds momentum. Action clears the path to success. Inaction just leads to regret. Once you take that first step, it’s important to keep moving. Your past actions got you where you are today. They’ve done their job. They can’t […]

Bubble before Burst: Reigning in the Cost of Student Debt The Honorable Elizabeth Warren U.S. Senior Senator for Massachusetts We share the same dislike with Wall Street taking advantage of the low interest rate environment, sometimes at the expense of society. I support your first legislation as a Senator of the U.S. Congress and commend you on addressing this issue in its simplistic form. I’ve always been a firm believer that the Great Recession was caused by three things: Greed, […]

Being persistent is extremely important when you are trying to implement a change in your life. You will accomplish much more by constantly trying than constantly giving up. Consistency is how you build a solid foundation. Without consistency forming good habits to replace bad ones or new habits to make life better will be virtually impossible. Of course, there will be failure…but that is when persistence becomes even more important. You must remind yourself of the concept two steps forward, […]

Magic happens when you combine things in unexpected ways. You may think that certain parts of your life aren’t related, but in reality it’s all connected. By combining strengths, you’re multiplying their effect and creating something new. Try throwing a talent of yours in the pot with a hobby or interest and see what happens. Try finding a personal goal that can be joined with a social goal. Try digging out that old Halloween costume and see if it inspires […]

“Have you ever let reason and logistics get in your way or stop you from doing something? Many times we forget that our passion could propel us to success. Don’t let logistics and reasoning stop you from trying something. For example, you may want to run a marathon. Your reasoning might say, “”You can’t! You are overweight or you’ve never done it before.”” But don’t let this stop you! Use your passion and go for it! The first step is […]

Does anyone really set out to live a watered-down version of life? Would people rather pick the leftovers off the ground instead of choosing from the ripe fruit on the tree? It’s doubtful. But to live a full life, to pick that fruit, you have to reach up. The unknown can be intimidating and downright scary. Just as your instincts are pushing you toward something you deeply want, fear can be pushing you away with thoughts of failure or unintended […]
