Wear Your Self Out, A Blog
Positive Intelligence
One of my uber-smart friends sent me to the Harvard Business Review to read something unrelated to my daily life. I did the usual poking around on the site and thought this was worth sharing, from an article called Positive Intelligence, by Shawn Achor:
Paradise by the Computer's Light
Here at the Musewear offices we like music. And not just because the word itself comes from the Greek word for muse (originally the word “mousike” referred to any art or science governed by the Muses).

It's 2012, Lower Your Expectations.
"The secret to Happiness is to lower your expectations." Quoted from Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's business partner, who, one would guess, is a pretty clever and wealthy guy.
"Did You Just Call Me A Fiend?"
“Goodnight love, sweet dreams.”
“Good night, you too.”

Dirty Fabulous Feet
Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart.
--Goethe
Who's Your Muse
“I would especially like to recourt the Muse of poetry, who ran off with the mailman four years ago, and drops me only a scribbled postcard from time to time.”
--John Updike
Have you a muse?
