I was reading a post on Techcrunch today entitled Adsense for Video, Google Still Lagging through my feed reader (I use Google Reader) and there was an ad at the bottom fo Red Hat.
However, when I clicked on the ad, I was taken to a Microsoft website.
I thought that was pretty funny. Is it a Techcrunch error or Microsoft new marketing campaign?
I am currently reading Why We Want You To Be Rich from Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. Honestly, I think it is terrible. I feel like they wrote the book in a week-end. It is just a rehash of their previous books. Each chapter starts with Kiyosaki stating something and then Trump repeating the same thing in his own words.
However, Donald Trump tells this story in the book and I found it interesting:
Being stubborn is a big part of being a winner. [...] My father used to tell us this story about a guy who loved soda, so he went into the soda business, with a product he called 3UP. It failed. So he started again with a product called 4UP. It failed, too. So he decided to name his product 5UP and worked just as hard to make it work, but sure enough, it failed again. He realized that he still loved soda, so he tried again with a product named 6UP. It failed, and he gave up completely. Then, a few years later, someone else came up with a soda product and named it 7UP, which became a huge success.
I think that is a cool story to motivate people who are thinking about giving up.
