1I contend the definition of "career" as we've been taught is out dated. How would you define, "career" now days? people are "seeking" the wrong thing. People should NOT seek out a traditional career, but rather always be looking for "the next adventure". I wrote a post about how we can redefine what we look for to better our futures...and how that may or may not be a "traditional career". How do we get rid of that "preconceived" stigma attached to career? http://t.co/sLvOA8l

2How do entrepreneurs and those of us that are so passionate about our work live a balanced life? WE DONT! What I've found is that by having a husband who shares my values; and appreciates the driven, motivated, innovative "me" has only helped to BETTER our relationship; and better my work. Going back to the old saying, "All you need is love". What do you find? Do you enjoy / engage in work more if your 'partner' loves it too? Short blog post / realization from AdTech. http://t.co/NsIbUjE

3I found a great video (link below) on TED; 2008 Harvard Commencement Speech by JK Rowlings. She talks about the "fringe benefits" of failure. This led me to think about my failures; and how they always lead to something better. This led me to the questions, "Are all failures purposeful?" Surely, we all learn something (or should) when we fail, but is there always more to it than that? Can you identify a failure that lead to nothing? I'm trying to, but cant think of one http://bit.ly/c2z5qH
