We are the first generation bombarded with so many stories from so many authorities, none of which are our own. The parable of the postmodern mind is the person surrounded by a media center: three television screens in front of them giving three sets of stories; fax machines bringing in other stories; newspapers providing still more stories. In a sense, we are saturated with stories; we’re saturated with points of view. But the effect of being bombarded with all of these points of view is that we don’t have a point of view and we don’t have a story. We lose the continuity of our experiences; we become people who are written on from the outside.

An insightful look at the amazing mission in Pakistan. I am forever grateful for the men and women (and my awesome little brother) who carry out these missions and defend our freedom every day.
A former president of Harvard once observed that “universities share one characteristic with compulsive gamblers and exiled royalty: there is never enough money to satisfy their desires.
This is a bit hard on compulsive gamblers and exiled royals. America’s universities have raised their fees five times as fast as inflation over the past 30 years. Better management would allow them to do more with less. (via theeconomist)I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.
John CageLove the overall company direction that TOMS has decided to take. Continuing to push the boundaries of giving back, the company announces their One for One concept to include vision.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Great article about the innovation and creative environment in Boulder.
So I’m going out there. And I’m going to do the best I can. People are going to get in my way. Things are going to bring me down. But I’m going to keep going. I’m going to reach as far as I can, for every thing I’ve ever wanted. And I’m not giving up. Because that’s what you do when your dreams are more important than your fears. You go out there and ignore the odds. You focus on one thing- that your dreams come true.
At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and what you want.
Lao Tzu (via itookadeepbreath)I’m a huge supporter of therapy dogs. My uncle has a great golden retriever who is a therapy dog and holds regular sessions with patients in local hospitals, elderly homes and at schools with children with learning disabilities. Looking forward to hearing more about this program at Yale as I think that the dogs’ soothing nature could go a long way to calm grad students nerves. I would love it if my school had one… hint hint!
Some good points about taking a moment to step back and examine life one moment at a time.
Great use of technology to help people re-connect with their loved ones.
Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr. (via itookadeepbreath)There are some people that live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into another.

- Product Marketing at AutodeskMarketing and Advertising | San Francisco Bay Area, USSummaryRecently completed the accelerated MBA program at the number one International MBA program, the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, Arizona.
I have over five years of experience working with leading companies, developing and implementing their marketing campaigns. I am always eager to push the boundaries, ask "how can we make this better?" while at the same time achieve the big-picture objectives of any given project. I believe that strategy is the key to any initiative and have achieved results including public relations activities, business development and digital media to prove it.
A detail-oriented entrepreneur at heart, I enjoy helping brands emerge from the clutter and engage with their audience. I am actively pursuing a career with a cutting-edge, innovative company that wants to do better for the customer, for the business and for the world.EducationAdditional Information-
