Work-Life balance from a Maslow pyramid perspective will have respectful standing equally at work, and home, at the top, while time balance at work and life at the bottom of the pyramid. #myPin
In 2006, students from Xavier High School in NYC sent Kurt Vonnegut five letters asking the aging writer to visit their class. What he wrote back is one of the most inspiring things ever:
Today’s women are being sold a LIE:
“The ONLY way for you to be happy is to climb the corporate ladder AND have lots of casual sex along the way because: patriarchy”.
We must stop shaming women who's #1 goal in life is raise a family.
Climb the corporate ladder if you want. Be a stay at home mom if you want.
Do what YOU want, NOT what you are told will make you happy.
Also, you are NOT oppressed.
I fear there will be a generation of infertile, lonely depressed cat mom's wallowing in regret as a result of the lie being sold to women today. I'm glad this woman awoke from her feminist-coma.
It is OK if your highest priority is to raise a family.
It is OK if you don't want kids.
But the truth is, 95% of women are being told they will be most happy living the life of the other 5%.
Won't end well.

A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."
Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.”
The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"
Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".
The girl returns to her father & said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car & a lot of work done".
The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts & show them the car.
The girl drove to the passionate car club.
She returned to her father after a few hours & told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare car that's in good condition.”
Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."
The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.
"The Hotel Bathroom Principle"
Whenever I’m in a city and I need to use the bathroom, I walk into a fancy hotel.
Fancy hotels always have nice bathrooms. And if you’re dressed well and walk confidently, you won’t be hassled for using the bathroom.
The world is becoming more casual, but if you dress too casually, it looks sloppy and careless.
When you want to cultivate serendipity, stick to the “Hotel Bathroom” dress code. Always dress well enough to walk into a bathroom at a hotel you’re not staying at and get away with it.
If you remember the “Hotel Bathroom Principle” you’ll always look sharp enough to capitalize on a serendipitous encounter.

I was among the first to articulate the shift to platforms, 15 yrs back, and later wrote about in my books Platform Revolution and Platform Scale.
I believe #protocols will drive the next big shift in value creation & markets.
Here's why!

In a new study, out in Attention Perception and Psychophysics, @ananyapassi and I have cool insights to share about a fascinating cross-modal association called the Bouba-Kiki effect. Consider the shapes below: which shape would you call a Bouba? 1/n https://t.co/jt0iwYW2ky
I talked to 7 women, all Asian international students, who said Dybvig sexually harassed them. From flirty emails to unwanted kissing and touching, their stories span at least a decade. Many said it was an open secret among female Chinese students.
