I don&#8217;t like having to stay until 7pm, but I find that&#8217;s the best time that (a) matches my own physiological rhythms, and (b) when there are very few interruptions, if any.

		<description><![CDATA[What are the keys to success? To many people, that&#8217;s like asking what the winning numbers are to the big lottery jackpot. There is the belief that there just might be a simple key to success, like turning the key to starting a car.

		<description><![CDATA[I was speaking with a 16-year-old friend yesterday, and I was reminded how capable kids and teenagers can be, if we let them be so. When I saw the video below, delivered by 12-year-old Adora Svitak, I had to say something about this. We, as adults, very easily and commonly underestimate kids and teenagers.

It&#8217;s only 10 minutes of your time, but it&#8217;s quite eye-opening. Over 30% of kids never finish highschool; over 50% for minority kids. Less than 25% of kids from low [...]]]></description>
