If you want to create something very good, it takes time, energy, and sometimes money. There might also be an opportunity cost (you could be doing something else rather than creating this) associated with that creation.
Should you give away that creation for FREE?
I’d say … “Yes.”
Here is the business case for doing just that (in my new column at TomPeters.com)
Think about the last time somebody stressed you out..
Somebody?
Really – nobody can stress you out until you give them permission to do so. YOU can get worked up and all – but don’t blame it on someobdy as “it is your response to what they did or said that got you worked up.”
OK, OK – you might already know that
So, what’s the solution you ask.
Simple – next time someone or something stresses you up, think about it with a mood of wonder. May be say something like -
“Hmm..Isn’t that interesting…”
and look at it with all the curiosity in the world.
It might calm you down and in the first couple of days, instead of getting yous stressed, it might crack you up
What can a multiplayer pinball game teach about teamwork?
A lot.
Over the weekend I was at The Tech with Sumukh and saw this multiplayer pinball game. The objective of the game is to get their ball to the final destination.It was a game to watch as the kids were battling to win.
While every kid is working hard to get guide his or her own ball, he or she is indifferent to the efforts of other kids who have their own individual agenda. Every effort to win by a kid thwarts the efforts of other kids to win.
