In being different.
As a continuation of the previous post on being different, I feel like I should point out something.
Yes, being different, doing things differently from others, is where your wins are going to come from. I’m a firm believer in being different and doing your own thing; anyone ... Comment - Like

I came across this poker article, on reciprocality. The premise is this:
In the world of reciprocality, it’s not what you do that matters most, and it’s not what they do. It’s both. Reciprocality is any difference between you and your opponents that affects your bott... Comment - Like

I’ve been watching a lot of old Arsenal DVDs, including the season review of the unbeaten season. That was an amazing team; they had such elegance and flair. But while watching the highlights of those matches, I noticed something. So many of their goals came from rebounded shots.
The same can be ... Comment - Like

And I’m on the verge of coming back to all of this, I think. It’s been an interesting, and difficult, few years of my life – the army, then going to college, all interspersed with various ups and downs with friendships and relationships. That said, I’m still here, and I think I’m finally... Comment - Like

A while ago, I was having dinner with a friend. She jokingly mentioned that my biography should be titled “Beating the System” or something along those lines, because of all the stuff I’ve managed to get away with.
And in retrospect, she could be right. I’ve gotten away with a lot of things... Comment - Like

Those of you who know me would know that I’ve been playing music for a long time. I’ve never given myself a shot at it, though, basically because I’ve always felt I wouldn’t be good enough.
Now, that’s about to change. I’ve finally decided to step out and go after this dream that I’ve... Comment - Like

As some of you may already know, I play guitar and keyboard, and am very much a music person. Most of you probably don’t know, though, that I do some songwriting as well. And well, I just wrote a song over the past week, a message to myself which I feel fits in well with the theme of this blog, so... Comment - Like

Earlier this year, Arielle Patrice Scott (an awesome young lady who you should definitely check out) gathered a group of driven young people, fora meetup where they talked about their personal brands. It’s since evolved into a meetup for them to support each other and help each other achieve what ... Comment - Like

It happens to the best of us, in whatever we’re doing. Sometimes we just hit a dead end and it feels like no matter what we do, it’s not going right. How do you get out of the slump?
To be perfectly honest, I don’t have the answer myself. I’m struggling with that too. But poker has thought ... Comment - Like

Watching the Arsenal vs Chelsea match on Sunday really hurt, as an Arsenal fan. It sucked to see Arsenal lose.
The biggest thing about the loss, though, was the way it happened. Arsenal had most of the possession, they passed it around well. They even created a few chances and all, but in the end t... Comment - Like

By now, those of you in the social media scene have probably heard of the incident with Daniel Brusilovsky and TechCrunch. For those of you who don’t, here’s a rundown of the situation.

It could, if you used it to hit your boss, or a co-worker. Or if you used it to smash your office desk to bits.
My point is, the hammer is just a tool. It’s how you use it that could get you fired (or not). It’s the same for these social networking tools, such as Facebook and Twitter. There’s... Comment - Like

I’m applying to college for Fall this year. Or rather, I have applied, now I’m waiting to see if I get in. But before you dismiss this post as a purely personal one and leave, just give me a minute, there is a larger point I want to make.

It’s quite old news by now, but Simon Cowell is quitting Idol.
Yes, the show will miss him. But what I want to mention here is why he’s leaving. As the article mentions, he’s walking away from one of the highest paid jobs in the world. But he’s leaving because he doesn’t have ownership of... Comment - Like
