1. The Twelve Foundations for a Good Life
A list of 12 habits can help you build a better life.

2. Business Ecosystem Change Takes Time
“There was no law of nature that said that Morita or Ibuka had to focus on innovative consumer electronic devices. There was no rule that forced them to continually push the envelope. They could’ve built a perfectly good business making transistor-based subcomponents, perched two-to-three levels up on some supply chain. The two founders simply didn’t want to build laggard products for existing markets. They refused to settle.”
