The broad point of this new notion is that if physical activity helped to mold the structure of our brains, then it most likely remains essential to brain health today, says John D. Polk, an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and co-author, with Dr. Raichlen, of the new article.Sunday, December 30, 2012 Francisco Carneiro 0 Comments

Steven Cohen told The Wall Street Journal in 2006 that his mother, who died in 2005, thought he was “smart but lazy.” She viewed his younger brother, Donald Cohen, as the financial success of the family. He is now an accountant.Saturday, December 29, 2012 Francisco Carneiro 0 Comments

Barry Schwartz says rules and incentives are an “insurance policy against disaster, but [they don't] produce excellence.” In the recent book, Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing, Schwartz and co-author Kenneth Sharpe, also a Swarthmore professor, say what is needed is not more bureaucracy. Instead, society needs the Aristotelian ideal that trumps all others — practical wisdom.Sunday, December 23, 2012 Francisco Carneiro 0 Comments

PS I am not sure rules & incentives are an insurance against disasters, perhaps they can avoid small mistakes but they can contribute to a big disasters. Once you follow the rules and stop thinking anything can happen.

I just finish a book with a compilation of the first 10 years of Thought's of the Day. The book it's not for sale, i can't profit from it (in fact i am loosing a lot!). I am figuring out a way to send the book to all the interested without spending more money.
The idea is give the book to friends, family and Colleagues.
I designed the book to be a good read for my kids, i think it's better than an MBA.
The first thought of the book is:
The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

The strength of Hertz is in its leadership position, not the quality of it's rent-a-car service. It's easier to stay on top than to get there.
Can you name a company that has overturned a leader? Crest did it in toothpaste, thanks to the American Dental Association's seal of approval. Budweiser did it in beer and Marlboro did it in cigarettes. But it rarely happens.
A survey of 25 leading brands from the year 1923 proves this point. Today, 20 of those brands are still in first place.Four are in second place and one is in fifth place.
Even changes in rank don't happen very often. If marketing were a horse race, it would be deadly dull affair. In the 43 years since World War II, there has been only one change in position in the top three U.S. automobile companies.

Competitive advantages based on economies of scale are in a class by themselves. They tend to be far longer lived than the other types and therefore more valuable. The best course is to establish dominance in a local market and then expand outward from it. Economies of scale, especially in local markets, are the key to creating sustainable competitive advantages.
The appropriate strategy is to identify niche markets, understanding that not all niches are equally attractive. Ideally, it will also be readily extendable at the edges. The key is to “think local"
