Best personal development resources for the week:
A great summary of the book Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time at the Never Eat Alone blog:
1) Know where you want to go;
2) Identify the people who can help you get there;
3) Get with those people and help them succeed;
4) Let them reciprocate by helping you do the same;
5) Stay in regular contact with those people;
6) Enjoy mutual success and a great relationship.

And also found via the Never Eat Alone blog, a goldmine of insightful articles from one of the blog’s writers, Dr. Mark Goulston.
Inspired by David Seah’s Never Too Old To Be Young post that proves you can never let age be your excuse, I searched for this story I heard a while back: Yuichiro Miura, 70, the oldest person ever to climb Mount Everest.
“No matter how old people are, they can still hold on to their dreams. You have to continue to make an effort to turn your dreams into reality. I learned that if you keep heart and take one small step after another, you can stand on top of the world.”
He climbed the world’s highest mountain at 70. He knows what he’s talking about, let’s all listen.
Steve Irwin, the fun, crazy, super enthusiastic wildlife guy on TV, passed away on Monday. What I loved about him was how his energy and love for animals and life would leap off the screen and grab you whenever you watched him. He will be missed
Signals vs. Noise does a good tribute.
