I have one major thought for you to ponder this week.
Any true success is a work of art.
Despite what so many of the success gurus say these days, there are no truly scientific laws, or efficacious magical formulas, for success. Publishers can't figure out what makes a book a bestseller. Toy manufacturers can't predict the next fad. Shoe designers have no idea what will suddenly set a new standard for fashion. Equally good scientific polling, along with the best available social science, can t deliver the election to both of the two main presidential candidates, current indications to the contrary notwithstanding.
