Kobe Bryant said that the 1st time he saw his USA Men's Basketball uniform he "laid it down across my bed" and just looked at it, "humbled". "I had goosebumps", Kobe continued. Arguably the best basketball player of our generation...was emotionally affected by a simple (albeit nice) basketball uniform. What up with that?

Are we witnessing the end of the British football manager? - 0 views

shared by Rob Robson on 05 Sep 08 - Cached

Rob Robson on 05 Sep 08

This week has seen two football managers from the English Premier League (West Ham and Newcastle United, respectively) quit their posts. In both cases the issue appears to be their loss of control over transfers, and perhaps other aspects of the club management.Does this signal the end of the British football manager?

Imagine winning a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. No really, go ahead, close your eyes and visualize it. What did you see? Were you standing on the medal platform looking out at the crowd, waving and taking in the scene through your own eyes, or were you a spectator in the crowd watching yourself getting the medal put around your neck? This choice between "first-person" or "third-person" visualization actually makes a difference on our motivation to achieve a future goal.

Rob Robson on 02 Aug 08

I always advocate publishing content (articles, blogs) on multiple web platforms, to really put it work as a marketing tool, so when I heard about Google Knol I was immediately interested. A 'Knol' is, according to Google, a unit of knowledge. Essentially Google Knol is a collection of articles, but the twist is that is that you can allow other users to edit your own 'Knols', either moderated or unmoderated.
