Interesting conversation over breakfast with my daughter this morning about how to decide on your livelihood. She is a high school freshman who wants to contribute to the world, have a comfortable salary, have a family, travel and enjoy what she does for a living. Indeed, don't we all?

Interesting she should ask (and believe me, I'm glad she's asking), since there have been some interesting reads in the news on this very subject.

This article in the Harvard Business Review questions the practice of "business as usual" and re-frames the question for the future as "Does what you do have a point- one that matters to people, society, nature and the future?"

The next people to be displaced by computerization (not so much by off-shoring) are attorneys. Wow. Just wow.

Staying cool under pressure is somewhat genetic, but more so environmental. And the good news is, it can be taught!
