Facebook Makes Employees More Productive

According to statistics from Facebook, two average users are now only separated by 3.5 degrees. That’s even less than the 4-degree average in 2011. Facebook attributes this increase in connection between disparate people to the increasingly global reach of the site.

Success Is A Choice

“Success is a Choice” … I first heard this phrase when Rick Pitino wrote a book that had this as the title.  It is one of the best quotes I have heard.   In fact, I have borrowed it as the primary motto for my basketball program over the years.  It goes on all of our letterhead, locker room posters and motivational pieces.  In general, every person has the choice of how they act and behave.
