I read the other day that most people believe the world is getting worse – and yet, said the article, there are more improvements to daily life now than ever before.

He took forever to make a decision, lived his last days in extreme pain, and gave away his fortune to charity. At his peak, billionaire Howard Hughes was one of the most brilliant minds on the planet – daring, inventive and passionate to a fault. Today, we can learn from the best of Hughes to […]

I sat staring at my computer recently and the thought struck me: this just doesn’t cut it. I poured over articles on LinkedIn, looking for a bit of inspiration – maybe one idea I could use that day. It was not to happen. Most of the material was self-serving. None of it imparted any wisdom […]
