Motivation
Arnold King tells you exactly how to win. It’s so simple, just the three E’s, but few even try it. /
I have an aphorism that progress comes via the three e’s: experimentation, evaluation, and evolution. It does not come via intelligent design.
Most new ideas are wrong. The key to progress is to test new ideas carefully, using a process that keeps the good ideas and rejects the bad ones.
Experimentation means trying many ideas.
Evaluation means measuring whether or not an idea worked.
Evolution means keeping the ideas that worked and rejecting the bad ones.

Larry Paige, the founder of Google once asked me what I did at a TED conference. I said, "I fix networks, the real ones, not the online ones, we call them "shopping centers" and they are the lifeblood of the US economy and its consumers." "That's cool." he said.
You Are Never Too Old /
You are never too old. At 43, Tom Brady commandingly won the Super Bowl. Next to him in this photo is Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonalds. Ray quit his job as a Dixie Cup salesman at age of 52 to open his first McDonalds. Ray’s story is told in one of my favorite books: Grinding It Out.
Time and time again, I am amazed at the fantastic things people accomplish in the latter half of their careers – it’s never to late, just go for it.
