Two interesting recent columns from The Economist:
The first one is cool because it's about Lego. Lego. In The Economist. Word! And most importantly, it mentions the vicious pain of stepping on a Lego. And here I thought The Economist was heartless and detatched from the common human experience.
The second should be taped to the desks of every company owner in this town. And to the forehead of whoever wrote that kindergarten-style editorial in The Hub last week. The moral is: if you did things right in the first place, you wouldn't have to worry about preventing people saying you did it wrong. So instead of bullying employees and other critics, try doing the right thing. Easier, faster, cheaper, and in the end, a lot easier on the ego.
I've been saying it for years, but now Schumpeter said it to. Listen up, Hay River.
