It’s coming around to almost two weeks that I have moved my family to California’s Bay Area. To be more precise, my family is my wife, two little kids, and mom in law (let’s leave the jokes aside okay).

Be Your Own Judge Before You Give Up
| Business, General Rants, Life Happens | 1 Comment |
Here’s a snippet from Seth Godin’s post on “the forces of mediocrity“:
