February Article: “Recovering from Information Overload” by Derek Dean and Caroline Webb

02/02/12

Editor’s note:  Thanks to my good friend and article-watcher, Ron Dimattia, for passing this onto me.  I’ve never been a big Clinton fan and yet his point of “charity” alone no longer making sense is one I subscribe to wholeheartedly.  And the article is well-written and to the point.

Thanks for the comments, Neil.  I follow a basic premise:  There are no absolutes.  That is, there are not so much entrepreneurs without a heart or ones with heart of gold as much as there are plenty of both.  And we come in degrees as broad as a rainbow.  The mistake is to see "good" and "bad" where really most people, including you and me, are somewhere in between.  So, to avoid despair or irrational optimism, I start from the premise that there are plenty of entrepreneurs with great hearts to work with and I'm trying to be one of them.  The most salient point you make though is, YES, we must first find our own degree of success in any area before helping others.  Otherwise we just spread our own inadequacies.
