This year, more than others, I have become even more aware of how technology innovation makes so many smile, even if only for a fleeting moment. We saw how many billions the master, Steve Jobs, touched. More so it is in many small episodes I have personally encountered.
There’s Brady Cullimore who saw me present at U. of Phoenix and has sent me a steady stream of emails about things that made him go “wow”. There’s my hair dresser, Blanca who proudly shows off The New Polymath in her store. The poor lady has little idea what’s in the book, but excitedly reports how patrons ask to borrow it. There’s Debbie Brown who told me how inspired she was by my blog on Space Shuttle flight STS-400 – a flight which fortunately never took off. There’s the executive I asked to review my next book and he emailed this week how much he enjoyed the case studies. He is one of the most innovative executives I know, and it is nice to see him go “wow”. I could go on.
So, on this day, I wish each of you all peace and joy. Most of all, I wish you plenty of “wow”. And I hope you pass that along. Whether you are a developer, a salesperson, a blogger we all have the power to make people go wow.
That is a wonderful gift to receive and to give any day of the year !
