WANT
“Did the chicken have friends? Like did he put his little wing around other little chickens?”
…it reminds me that we’re now viewing each other as “influencers” and have somehow stopped looking at each other as “people” — I didn’t study so hard to get out of high school just to be faced with a whole ‘nother high school as an adult.

This article is spot on. Before being in the startup world, I worked at design firms, where I didn’t know 99% of these startup deities. At the end of the day, all of us in this industry still have to sit down and figure out why that js function doesn’t work in IE7. :)

A Portrait of American Millionaires
“The Millionaire Next Door” is a fantastic book which gives some eye-opening statistics.
- Many of the types of businesses we are in could be classified as dullnormal. We are welding contractors, auctioneers, rice farmers, owners of mobile-home parks, pest controllers, coin and stamp dealers, and paving contractors.
- Most of us have never felt at a disadvantage because we did not receive any inheritance. About 80 percent of us are first-generation affluent.
- We have more than six and one-half times the level of wealth of our nonmillionaire neighbors, but, in our neighborhood, these nonmillionaires outnumber us better than three to one. Could it be that they have chosen to trade wealth for acquiring high-status material possessions?
- We live well below our means. We wear inexpensive suits and drive American-made cars. Only a minority of us drive the current-model-year automobile. Only a minority ever lease our motor vehicles.
