The Anatomy of Determination September 2009 Like all investors, we spend a lot of time trying to learn how to predict which startups will succeed. We probably spend more time thinking about it than most, because we invest the earliest. Prediction is usually all we have to rely on. We learned quickly that the most important predictor of success is determination. At first we thought it might be intelligence. In most domains, talent is overrated compared to determination—partly because it makes a better story, partly because it gives onlookers an excuse for being lazy, and partly because after a while determination starts to look like talent. I can't think of any field in which determination is overrated, but the relative importance of determination and talent probably do vary somewhat. I don't mean to suggest by this comparison that types of work that depend more on talent are always more admirable. If determination is so important, can we isolate its components? Being strong-willed is not enough, however. Notes

Becoming Heroes Did you do any endurance sports at all before you have started your skateboarding journey? Dave: Not at all! But I think it’s really important to do an endurance adventure at least once in life. Do you get a lot of emails from fans and other adventurers? Dave: Yeah, I have a hall of fame folder on my laptop, where I´ve saved so far about 1500 mails from people around the world, who saw me on Social Media or at one of my talks, and set out on their own adventures afterwards. A feeling that you´re not really happy about your job, but just can´t leave, because you have to pay all your bills and other stuff. “I have 10x less money then back in my job. Who is Dave as a person now? Dave: I´ve started to feel more brave and confident about myself. Also I´m currently creating an online business, which allows me to work from any place on the planet.

1 Kor 13 - Biblija.net - Nederlands Bijbelgenootschap De liefde 1 Al sprak ik de talen van alle mensen en die van de engelen – had ik de liefde niet, ik zou niet meer zijn dan een dreunende gong of een schelle cimbaal. 2 Al had ik de gave om te profeteren en doorgrondde ik alle geheimen, al bezat ik alle kennis en had ik het geloof dat bergen kan verplaatsen – had ik de liefde niet, ik zou niets zijn. 3 Al verkocht ik mijn bezittingen omdat ik voedsel aan de armen wilde geven, al gaf ik mijn lichaam prijs en kon ik daar trots op zijn – had ik de liefde niet, het zou mij niet baten. 4 De liefde is geduldig en vol goedheid. De liefde kent geen afgunst, geen ijdel vertoon en geen zelfgenoegzaamheid. 5 Ze is niet grof en niet zelfzuchtig, ze laat zich niet boos maken en rekent het kwaad niet aan, 6 ze verheugt zich niet over het onrecht maar vindt vreugde in de waarheid. 7 Alles verdraagt ze, alles gelooft ze, alles hoopt ze, in alles volhardt ze. 8 De liefde zal nooit vergaan.

Five places that mark Australia's extreme geological past - Science News - ABC News Australia is often thought of as an ancient and quiescent continent — the sleeping giant in a world where landscapes dramatically change in front of our very eyes. Earthquakes have shattered New Zealand and Italy, tsunamis have inundated Japan and Indonesia, and volcanic eruptions have blasted Iceland and Russia, to name a few. In Australia, meanwhile, our activity seems to be limited to a steady northward drift at a rate of centimetres per year. But Australia's past is far from sleepy. Here are five places where evidence of our extreme history is written in stone. Central Australia: World's biggest gravity warp Driving along the Stuart Highway from Adelaide to Darwin can seem like an uneventful journey, with miles and miles of flat country only occasionally interrupted by low hills and dry creeks. But hidden beneath the red earth are some of the biggest subsurface anomalies you've never seen. The mantle is much denser than typical continental crust. Supplied: Geoscience Australia

99% Invisible | A Tiny Radio Show About Design with Roman Mars Authentic Inquiry Maths: PYP Exhibition It's been a few days now and the Exhibition has been and gone. I have reflected on what we experienced and have identified a few more ideas relating to Maths that came out of the kids' inquiries.Here we go.... Timelines Quite a few groups used timelines to present information - after all our transdisciplinary theme was "Where we are in place and time." Here are a few: One of the "Fashion" groups did a really good timeline using miniature dresses that they had made to demonstrate the changes to fashion over time. Another (different) "Fashion" group used shoeboxes for a timeline. The "Women's Rights" group (ironically) used a clothesline to display their timeline of significant events in the history of the women's movement. Voting and Polls Several groups decided to ask their visitors questions about their inquiry and were able to represent their data in interesting ways. The Women's Rights group asked a question about the Suffragette movement. Gold rings laid out on a beautiful silver tray.
