Ikigai: la razón de vivir | Tao Integral. Para que Vivir Cada idioma describe un mundo, una manera de pensar y de actuar. Un idioma es una cultura. De ahí la ventaja de conocer mas de una lengua, porque si bien el lenguaje es una herramienta maravillosa, es a la vez una suerte de cárcel para la percepción. Un idioma es en todo caso una imagen de la realidad, pero como se ha dicho, el mapa no es el territorio. Todo lenguaje es una descripción, pero no la cosa en sí. Resulta curioso encontrar palabras en ciertos idiomas que no tienen equivalente al español. Por eso puede decirse que si algo no tiene nombre “no existe” para esa cultura en particular, cuando algo se detecta se nombra, así funciona la mente humana. La palabra que titula esta nota es de origen japonés y significa algo así como “la razón de vivir”, aquello que nos da “una razón para vivir”. ¿Cuál es tu razón para vivir?

Unos dirán que sus hijos, su profesión, su anhelo de conquistas y triunfos de todo tipo. Así interpelaba a sus pacientes el gran sabio Dr. Fraternalmente. What Is Disruptive Innovation? For the past 20 years, the theory of disruptive innovation has been enormously influential in business circles and a powerful tool for predicting which industry entrants will succeed. Unfortunately, the theory has also been widely misunderstood, and the “disruptive” label has been applied too carelessly anytime a market newcomer shakes up well-established incumbents. In this article, the architect of disruption theory, Clayton M. Christensen, and his coauthors correct some of the misinformation, describe how the thinking on the subject has evolved, and discuss the utility of the theory. They start by clarifying what classic disruption entails—a small enterprise targeting overlooked customers with a novel but modest offering and gradually moving upmarket to challenge the industry leaders.

The authors acknowledge that disruption theory has certain limitations. But they are confident that as research continues, the theory’s explanatory and predictive powers will only improve.

It has helped me clarify my thinking, process my feelings, and make better decisions. However, like most people, I struggled with consistency. I wanted to journal. Sound familiar? Several months ago I stumbled onto something that solved the problem. Honestly, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. But I shared it with my wife, Gail, who was struggling with consistency herself. So here’s what I shared with her: use a journaling template. Not that earth-shattering, right? I do this is so I don’t have to constantly reinvent my workflows.

That’s exactly what I have done with my journaling template. Yesterday What did I do yesterday? Now What am I thankful for right now? Today What did I read today? Note: The part in brackets above is simply for your benefit. Currently, I am journaling in Day One. The advantage of using a template is that it gives me a track to run on. Parenting for Success with Kid Entrepreneurs. Can you raise a kid to be an entrepreneur? Is it possible to nurture an entrepreneurial skillset in your child early on? As someone who grew up knowing I wanted to be an entrepreneur, wanting to run my own businesses, and now with two kids of my own, these kinds of questions intrigue me. Growing up, I was lucky to have parents who were incredibly supportive of me. While I was failing math class, they recognized something different in me: the ability to become a great entrepreneur.

And that was valuable. In many ways, if you are a parent, seeing your kid become an entrepreneur and develop entrepreneurial skills could be very exciting. But what really made me successful, and the way my parents pushed that success, has to do with seeing the difference between reacting and forcing. Reacting is giving your kid the rope. This is essentially what happened for me. But you can enroll them in theater class to get them interested in theatre. For me, the answer is no.

The Importance of Moral Entrepreneurship. How do you become a moral businessman, eh? Are you ethical? How do you learn to be ethical? How do meaning and profit intersect? Is business ethics really just an oxymoron, like " jumbo shrimp. "? I must say I find myself most distrustful on the whole subject of business ethics, though nothing is more important to me and I write about it a lot.

I can understand why the very subject causes some of my friends to go into conniptions of eye-rolling cynicism. I deeply believe that the truly engaged entrepreneur is embarked only secondarily on a road to riches. Meaning is an alternate coinage and a storehouse of value for entrepreneurial success. There is substantial academic attention given to the subject of ethics these days.

What Kind of Thinker Are You? Here's What Really Happened at That Company That Set a $70,000 Minimum Wage. Before Dan Price caused a media firestorm by establishing a $70,000 minimum wage at his Seattle company, Gravity Payments... before Hollywood agents, reality-show producers, and book publishers began throwing elbows for a piece of the hip, 31-year-old entrepreneur with the shoulder-length hair and Brad Pitt looks... before Rush Limbaugh called him a socialist and Harvard Business School professors asked to study his radical experiment in paying workers... an entry-level Gravity employee named Jason Haley got really pissed off at him.

Price had noticed it, and when he spotted Haley outside on a smoking break, he approached. "Seems like something's bothering you," he said. "What's on your mind? " "You're ripping me off," Haley told him. Price was taken aback. Price walked away, shocked and hurt. Hitting Pay Dirt Until Price dropped his wage bomb, much of that debate was punditry.
