Don’t be caught in the Paradox of Success. Reliance on past or current success for future Continue reading No curves in sight This is the view over my shoulder this morning as I open the Kindle. One cool thing about the Great Plains is the way you can watch both Sunrise and Sunset from the same chair. No mountains to stand in the way. Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.
