Their gap is your command
Last year like one of the multitude of enthusiastic readers of Walter Isaacson’s terrific book, I’ve been trying to grok Steve Jobs’ way of looking at the world so that my clients and I can benefit from it.
This is a work in progress but this is what I think Jobs recognized:

When your thinking is interrupted by your brain,
you’ve got real ADD;
When it’s interrupted by the world,
you just have trouble saying, “No.”

Steve Jobs did not have a "Reality Distortion Field," he had a "Distraction Eliminator Field."
Much has been written about Jobs creating what has been referred to as a Reality Distortion Field (RDF) that caused him to not only be incredibly convincing to others about whatever he wanted them to think but also to himself. It was that RDF that enabled him to see exquisitely clearly something the world needed and wanted that they didn't know they needed and wanted (see Grokking Steve Jobs).

"Every day at least one thing makes you (and your children) smile."
- Harry Glazer
One of my close friends, attorney Harry Glazer, was telling me recently how when his kids are happy he's happy and when they're not, he's not. My wife's version of this is: "You're only as happy as your most unhappy child." I agree with both of them.

Politicians do regret; they don't do remorse.
Meghan Daum recently wrote in the Los Angeles Times: "Weiner, Filner: Therapy and the art of political cleansing."
Politicians like Bob Filner, Anthony Weiner, Eliott Spitzer, John Edwards are treatable, but are they helpable? You be the judge.

In the mid 50′s, a monastery was to be relocated to make room for a new highway. The monks arranged for a crane to come and move the “Clay” Buddha to its new location. When the crane started to lift the statue, it was much heavier than expected and it began to crack.
