You are right it does seem more political then financial. Advising people to support charities would be financial advice, wouldn't it? I think its pretty good advice something like "Attempt to give 1% of your income to a good cause for when things go wrong"

I am in favor of this line of thinking, there's a lesson to take out of this about finding a way to make sure you get paid.

I didn't find much of this article very stimulating but the last comment made a very good point about fields in general:

"So why aren’t there more people drawn into the[any] field out of sheer interest? Because when you’re poor, which most of the world is, money is more important than passion. It’s not until you reach a near First-World level of development that pursuing your passions rather than escaping poverty seems like a reasonable and/or admirable thing to do."

Incorrect, a bunch of students with failed/successful experience is better than a bunch of students who go to college, because they were "suppose" to.

I think its best to opt for more freedom, when it comes to picking who they want to spend their adulthood. These new paths aren't for everyone but that's why we should consider this an alternate solution, not a one size fits all one.

So can we start a discussion on the use of those "no, no" type things. Is there any time they are worth using? (By the way, i really liked the title, I think this idea applies a lot of places outside of just CEOs)

I don't understand why facebook doesn't charge to have a fan page. I mean this is something that I think that you should absolutely charge for.

I loved this.To loosely quote PG: "You shouldn't be focusing on the end goal or final dream, but questioning what opportunities you have at hand and picking from those" or to put simply don't be so future oriented you never know what opportunities will be available then so you should focus on your opportunities now.

I really enjoyed that read, well done. I didn't find toys to disappoint me very much. I love love loved my action figures when I was a kids. But my nephews boredom with his toys fits right into the picture you've written.
