Remembering Steve Jobs' Insights

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

Remembering Steve Jobs' Insights

Steve Jobs, the iconic founder of Apple, died yesterday, and though the world will remember him for his legendary leadership, his creative genius, or his passion for design, he was also a man of inspiring insights. In this powerful 2005 commencement address at Stanford, Jobs shares three personal stories, urging his audience to always "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish." { read more }

How to Live a Single-Tasking Life

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

- Alexander Graham Bell -

How to Live a Single-Tasking Life

Multi-tasking is no longer about being productive -- it's a way of living. It's not a sane way of living, however, and it's not necessarily the most effective way of working either. Imagine instead, a single-tasking life. Imagine waking and going for a run, as if running were all you do. Nothing else is on your mind but the run, and you do it to the very best of your abilities. Then you eat, enjoying every flavorful bite of your fresh breakfast of whole, unprocessed foods. You do your work, one task at a time, each task done with full focus and dedication. You spend time with loved ones, as if nothing else existed. It sounds nice, but how do you live a life like this? Like anything worth doing, it takes practice. Here's what author Leo Babauta recommends. { read more }

Run some conscious experiments with single-tasking today.

National Treasures: Wild Horses, Wild Kids

Kindness and compassion toward all living things is the mark of a civilized society.

- Cesar Chavez -

National Treasures: Wild Horses, Wild Kids

Jean Albert Renaud sleeps in a barn. His bedroom shares a wall with the stall of a stallion named Incitatus. On winter nights, he can hear the wind whistling across the hills, but Renaud (or Jar, as he is known) is warm in the company of his eight horses. He sleeps there because he wants to. Jar's life has never been conventional, but today it is focused on his noblest effort yet -- preserving and nourishing what he calls America's two most precious and least appreciated treasures: the wild Mustang and our marginalized children. "We treat children like we treat the wild horses," Jar says. "We rarely take the time to look at the world from their viewpoints. So many of them know and survive the streets without us. They are like wild horses. So, like the horses, how do you approach these 'wild' kids?" { read more }

Is there someone or some group you hold assumptions about? Make an effort to see the world from their viewpoint.

Connected: Love, Death, & Technology

To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.

- Terry Tempest Williams -

Connected: Love, Death, & Technology

"From the beginning of time, every new technological advancement has brought with it a complex mix of positive and negative repercussions as well as unintended consequences. I set out to make a film that addresses the potential of our twenty-first-century technologies and the importance of harnessing their powers. I also wanted to examine what can happen when these new technologies take over and sometimes overwhelm our personal lives. What does it mean to be connected in the twenty-first century? How can we use the power of all these connections to turn things around for the better? I titled the film 'Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death, and Technology.'" Tiffany Shlain, one of Newsweek's 'Women Shaping the 21st Century,' shares a thoughtful reflection about the making (as well as a glimpse) of her new award-winning feature documentary. { read more }

Today, make an effort to use technology in ways that help you connect more meaningfully to people.

Third Way Leadership

Go to the people. Live with them. Learn from them. Start with what they know; build with what they have. But with the best of leaders, when the work is done, the task accomplished, the people will say, we have done this ourselves.

- Lao Tzu -

Third Way Leadership

"Cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien suggests we're shifting from an either/or to a both/and culture -- one that requires opening the aperture of our irises to better perceive the truth that surrounds apparent paradox. Though two conflicting views may seem irreconcilably opposed, when we expand our vision enough to encompass a whole that's larger than both, a new reality often emerges -- a third way that's big enough to address each of them within its purview. In a both/and culture instead of avoiding dissenting views, we might embrace the opportunity they raise for expanding vision, exploring them through practicing respectful disagreement. Apparent contradictions can serve to make visible truths that may not have been otherwise seen or acknowledged, enriching the health of the whole through their emergence." Nina Simons, co-founder of Bioneers, shares her perspective on Third Way leadership. { read more }
