Mark Twain once said that “twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do !
And to put a more positive spin on Miley Cyrus’s recent song “The Climb”, there is always going to be a mountain to climb in our lives… new challenges … new treasures to uncover in people and in ourselves.
As we begin the adventurous expedition of the year 2010, maybe it is time to throw off the bowlines and sojourn away from the safe harbor of your current personal and professional life.
As we approach the New Year- 2010,is it the year to catch the trade winds in your sails? Explore?. Dream? Discover? Do you dare activate and actualize your passion by climbing the new mountains in your life and share the experience with others?
Are you ready to climb those new and challenging mountains in 2010?

The knowledge economy ... is it really our future?
Jeff Brownlee, spokesperson for the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters , has commented that the future of manufacturing isn’t about mass production but customization. He emphasizes that businesses need to find their niche, then do it well and offer value add.
Instead of making one million mass produced items of questionable quality, you make 1000 products that are customized to your specifically targeted niche based on your research.
They say that the 21st century is all about the knowledge economy but Brownlee tends to think otherwise… “ At the end of the day, innovation and creativity are what sets us apart from other countries.”
Daniel Pink author of “ Free agent nation” and “A whole new mind: why right-brainers will rule the future” would most likely agree wholeheartedly with him.
