Let’s get back to basics.

1) Know where you want to be

2) Know how you’re going to get there

3) Hire the right people for the job

I think that should cover it.

Dear Dell,

I have canceled my order.  If you would like me to ever try purchasing a computer from you again, I would suggest that you don’t:

- put a hold on my card and make me call my credit card company to verify my order.

- call me in the middle of the work day to reconfirm the order that I just had to call and verify.

- require a land line for delivery confirmation. I don’t use a land line.

- have your representative continually repeat the land line requirement even though I just said that I don’t have a land line number.

Buying online should be easy. You made it hard. I’m going to Best Buy.

Thanks,

Tal

When your competition goes big – go small.

When your competition sprays and prays – use a rifle.

When your competition treats clients like paupers – treat them like royalty.

What’s with the cane?
I have MS.
Oh, man. I’m sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Are you sorry that you asked?
Don’t be. Canes are cool. A fine, yet unfortunate, prop.
Are you sorry I’m ’sick’?
Don’t be. It doesn’t hurt. It just doesn’t work.
It is what it is.
I’m more worried about my friends
who’ve actually looked at Death.
And still have to check in with him
every seven years.
They have something to worry about.
Not me.
So don’t be sorry.
I’m not.

O, tree,
crack your knuckles against the sky.
Scratch at the moon,
and pull life out of the earth
till your roots pop the sinew releasing
the pressure of growth.

Stretch, o, tree.
It’s not the wind
that moves you, but
the other way
around.
