Stefana Broadbent: How the Internet enables intimacy

Broadbent說得好，現代科技（如：手提電話、短訊、電郵），容許我們的私人空間（private sphere）滲入工作的環境裡。以前並不容許這事發生。社會文化已經有了新轉變。

Jeff Bezos: “We are What We Choose”

阿馬遜創辦人Jeff Bezos的演講很動人。很喜歡以下幾句：

“Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.”

What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful, and if you do, it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.

….

I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.
