		<description><![CDATA[As I’ve continued writing my book, Escape Velocity, I keep thinking upon this notion of microcosms.
For more on what I call “The microcosm approach to success”, see the following two posts:
Making the most of microcosms (how to use microcosms to achieve large objectives)
Controlled Failure (how to fail on your terms)
There’s an additional point I thought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I mention here, we should be failing on a regular basis.  I want to fail.  To not fail usually means I’m not pushing hard enough.  Not trying new things.  And there are vital lessons that we learn when we fail, and that can only be learned through failure.

		<description><![CDATA[A microcosm is just a small version of something much larger.  It’s usually very similar in the most important regards, but much simpler.
Kindergarten, for instance, is a microcosm of college (the macrocosm).
You couldn’t drop off a kid in college and expect them to do well.  They must first survive a number of preparatory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In conducting research for my upcoming book “Escape Velocity”, I asked the following question about change, on LinkedIn.
I got terrific responses, from terrific people (including a psychotherapist, a scientist, a banker, a microbiologist, project managers, marketers, authors, to IT professionals, career coaches, and CEO’s).
I wanted to share them, unedited, in the author’s own words, here.

Sometimes this is due to our attention being directed elsewhere, and sometimes it’s because the change occurs in such small, incremental degrees that we [...]]]></description>

All of a sudden I’m out of shape.
All of a sudden my finances are a wreck.
All of a sudden my product is late.

All of a sudden I’m addicted.

The important thing to remember when you’re in a valley, is that you won’t stay there forever.  Valley’s are temporary, even when they seem to last an eternity.
Inevitably, you find yourself back on top again.  Sometimes just remembering that can be the encouragement you need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What on earth is the Double McTwist 1260?
It’s where you flip diagonally two times in the air, and simultaneously spin for three and a half rotations.   It’s a crazy, high-risk, highly complicated, and totally unbelievable move.
Shaun White invented it, and showed it to the world as he took gold in the snowboard half-pipe [...]]]></description>
