Good LORD!
Talk about teaching your grandmother to suck eggs.

I agree that ...Killer App is a fine little book with plenty of encouragement that nice smart people succeed.

Still, if you're a businessperson who marvels at or is suddenly enlightened by suggestions to "make a comfortable place to read" or "a well lighted workspace is essential" you are farther from having a real life than you imagine.

You don't need a fancy pen. A hotel-issue freebie will do fine. I prefer mechanical pencils, but that's me. Use an eyeliner if you need to. Spend no money on a pen or pencil and donate the money you would have spent to someone or an organization that can use it for really important works.

Sometimes it is necessary to take the pillows off the message. (Amen Tim.) So, here it is - WAKE UP FROM YOUR CORPORATE-MR.-PINE'S-PURPLE HOUSE-CORPORATE-LINGO-JINGO-NONSENSE-SPEAK STUPOR! YOU'RE NO GOOD TO ANYONE THAT WAY, NOT YOU, NOT YOUR ORGANIZATION, NOT YOUR FAMILY.

Now go out and be a lovecat. Go out and love someone deeply - a customer, prospect, your partner, a coworker, heck - your boss. Just shut up and love!
