'"I know that there are millions of Americans who are content with their health care coverage — they like their plan and, most importantly, they value their relationship with their doctor. They trust you. And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period.

'Congratulations! You’ve finished building your consulting business’s website! Putting together a site is harder than it looks.

'Business can step up by reaching out, but it needs to adopt a new approach. THE OLD MODEL of corporate giving involves the CEO championing a particular charity, and then writing a cheque. The old model is broken. Broken because it relies on the whim of the CEO, who could change her priorities at any time. And, while the generosity continues to flow, the beneficiaries of this corporate largess become dependent on hand-outs rather than learning to catch their own fish.

'A company that matches two sides of a market is a platform: eBay, for example, pairs buyers and sellers. When a platform market tips, a winning company emerges. These winners--think Google in search and Microsoft Windows in business computing--gain an outsized share of revenue and profit.

If a player dives, runs or pushes the ball through the pylon it’s a touchdown – as long as the player took off from the playing field (not from out of bounds). Now, players don’t dance up to the pylon and tap the ball on it.

'If you''ve got a big idea, there''s no doubt that you will run into skeptics along the way. Many skeptics are afraid for you, embrace the status quo, and in their twisted but well-intentioned way, will work to persuade you to give up your dream. This sort of skeptic should be ignored, certainly. It doesn''t really pay to argue with them, because your impassioned restatement of your view of reality will do little to persuade them that you''re not doing something crazy risky.
