The Monday Morning Quote #341 – November 2015 – Steve Jobs #1
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are.

There are two sorts of computer users…
There are two sorts of computer users… Those who have ad-blockers fitted and those who haven’t realised that they can have ad-blockers fitted. I have written about this before mainly how you forget how irritating, disruptive and frequently inappropriate on-line advertising can be. My friends say that they get used to it but as someoneContinue reading “There are two sorts of computer users…”

Narcissistic leaders – who do you know who fits the bill?

Long after he left the firm, that was named after his ancestor John Cadbury, the company was controversially taken over by Kraft in 2009. He and his youngerContinue reading “Does this apply to (some) dental corporates?”
