Saying “Hi” practice

The Student, the Master, and the Drunk

Our Highest WorkBlogLeave a Comment

A story on how to win EVERY fight at work: An aikido student once traveled on a train with his Master and one drunk muscular huge guy was attacking and being aggressive to people on the train. And the student said to his teacher; “Now I will show you what I’ve learned.” And prepared for fight. And the teacher calmly said back; “No, now you will learn again, watch me.” And he stood up, went to the drunk guy and asked, “Hey! What did you drink? It was probably good!” And the drunk guy, who was noticeably confused, replied; “Sake!” And the teacher said with a calm voice, “Oh Sake (rice wine)! I love Sake! Why don’t we go off the train and I … Read More

I LOVE Evernote. So much so – that I think people at my work call me the Evernote man behind my back. Why? Because I use it for all design/web screenshot capturing including competitors. Why Should You Care? In order to be a design leader, you must think about the business. If you are not aware of the competitive landscape, who will be? Top reasons why you should care about capturing competitor screenshots: You need to have an eye on your competitors. Are they responsive? How are they selling their products? What are they doing differently? What can you borrow? What shouldn’t you do? Leadership is about helping your team and company WIN. You can’t win if you don’t know … Read More
