Remembering Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali, considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, died last Friday at 74 years old.
Besides boxing, he was known for his quick wit, sharp tongue, and memorable quotes.
Here's one of my favorites.
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
Here's another.

Here is a link to some great photos.
There are many videos recounting his life and the times, but I like this video because it shows him doing what made people call him "The Greatest".

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back – Still Leads to Progress
Here is a photo of the Capitalogix team noting a successful test release.
When you play a big enough game … the journey is long … and it can't just about the final result.
On a day-to-day basis, it is about sucking less, measuring progress, moving forward … and remembering to celebrate along the way.
Remember, the tip of the iceberg is only part of the story.

There’s No Crying In Trading
As a fund manager, I am always looking for ways to eliminate emotions (like fear and greed).
But as a father whose son just got married, the equation was different.
One of my son's instructions to the "officiant" was to make me cry. I made it through the Ceremony; then, I got a chance to say a few words at the Wedding Reception. Here they are …

The words "I love you" are powerful. Most people consider it an expression of emotion. It can also be a promise …
