Why Successful Entrepreneurs Are So Rare -
This post has made the rounds over the last week. I expect most everyone who is connected has read it. Still, it is good enough that I wanted to pass it along as well.

Finally the ability to put pride aside and accept when road dead ends and backtrack when so much has already been invested.
The leaders and visionaries who express such qualities are very rare indeed. It takes a unique person to be the first to walk a road when there is no road.

Italy on the bike: Day 17 Buonconvento to Montalcino -
I decided to take the long, scenic route to Montalcino today. Up (of course) into a lovely forest reserve on a country lane with far more cyclists than cars. Along the way I passed an amazing cyclist powering up the hills on his highly customized machine. Apparently unable to walk, this remarkable…
