So a friend of mine got me a super nice hardcover version of Sun Tzu's Art of War. I remember reading the book back in high school, but I don't think I fully understood it at the time. I reread it over the weekend, and it made much more sense as an adult. One quote really stood out to me "Reinforce success and starve failure". The more and more I think about it, I can really apply that at work. While the book was written from the point of view of war, it has SO many applicable points of view that can be applied to the workplace. Something more for me to noodle over in the coming days....

On a serious note, the whole tragedy in Colorado really has me bugged out. There are so many instances where we feel safe and secure as a society, and all it takes is one individual to disrupt the entire matrix. I don't think I'll be able to go into a theater in the next few weeks and not think about that. It is an absolute tragedy and my thoughts go out to the families and individuals affected.

On a happier note, if you google "Lego Wire Parody", be prepared to be EXTREMELY entertained. It is hilarious. I love anything associated with The Wire.
