In school or university, most people are average (by definition) and most people want to be like each other.

The Right Size
Why is it that no one ever says that Cambridge University should "scale" to serve more people or "disrupt" the education system*? Does anyone really think that Cambridge University should start a "franchise" and open up shop all across England or America? Why is it then that when people look at their own businesses "growth" and… Continue reading The Right Size
*Scaling Cambridge University
Why doesn't Cambridge University scale and open up in different parts of the country?

One of the teachers at my school heard one of our songs and asked what type of music we were playing. I responded; "We play neo-classical, speed,… Continue reading Self Development
Make It Count
Easy Wins Don't Count If someone gets the grades by cheating or gets that promotion because their dad is the boss then it doesn't count. They know it and everyone else knows it.

The Process
People focus on events. Whether it's when someone sells their company for tens of millions, or when someone wins gold at the Olympics, or when someone graduates from a prestigious University with a good degree; people focus on the event.
