Here is nice speech of Steve Jobs
The last words is “… Stay hungry, stay foolish …”

Just found book at B&N “Blogging with Moxie” – it’s about blogging for women or by women.
Authors of book are creators of moxie studio design company
This girls give a really great example who choose niche, make great things and be productive.
I like not just their portfolio but whole organization of work
Nice example to do right things right
I’ve just scanned(read) last issue of Harvard Business Review and there is article about how to make teams/companies creative
* be the appreciative audience
* ask the inspiring questions
* allow ideas to bubble up from the workforce
* combat the lone inventor myth
(this is very actual thing for me now around allwomenstalk.com)
* define “superstar” as someone who helps others succeed
* use “coordinators totems” – metaphors, analogies, and stories – to help teams conceptualize together
* get people in with different backgrounds/experience to work together
* encourage to gain different experience
… can’t remember
* create psychological safety to maximize learning from failure
* recognize different kinds of failure and show how to use it
* protect front end from commercial pressure
* clear paths through the bureaucracy for ideas
* let people do “good work”
nice tips – isn’t it?
Starbucks + good book = nice thoughts

Besides books we need on-the-edge info this tool so here is the blogs that should be in feed-reader
