Albert Einstein said: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
So true!
We just finished some planning sessions, and this lesson showed its relevance several times.
This is a message that bears repeating.
If you focus on what you do well that gives you energy and sparks your passion, the rest seems to take care of itself … and genius emerges.

Think how smart Google got so quickly.
Alternatively, think how much a company could learn if it figured-out how to survive (and thrive) for over a hundred years.
Here is a graphic that highlights several Corporate Centenarians.

This video demonstrating the power of superconductivity has been remarkably popular for a science video. Why? Because it is super cool!
Even if you don't think science interests you, this Quantum Levitation video will spark your imagination.
Tel-Aviv University, who is responsible for the demonstration, has posted an explanation of the science that makes this possible.
The video is courtesy of the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), representing the science center and museum field worldwide. You can follow them on Twitter at @ScienceCenters.

Did you imagine new transportation systems, toys, or something else? Super cool!

An analysis of VC deal activity at the internet angel and seed stages shows there has not been any sign of an investment slowdown. Not even close actually.
In fact, September 2011 angel & seed VC activity was up 172% since January 2010 and at the highest levels in the last seven quarters. You can see the actual trend based on real data here.
Also, last week, CB Insight's Q3's quarterly VC report came out which also showed that the sky clearly is not falling. Here are some of the headlines:
Of course, there is a lot more so go get the report here. It's free to download and 61 pages chock full of VC data goodness.
