Some women and girls—and certainly many men—will be happy to hear that women's breasts today are on average larger than they've ever been before. But this isn't necessarily good news.

In his 1965 book Countryman, nature journalist Hal Borland deftly captured a sentiment shared by many home gardeners the world over. “Knowing trees,” he wrote, “I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.” There is no arguing with this observation. Particularly when one is referring to crabgrass, and particularly when it has chosen to nestle cozily among the roots of one’s favorite rose bush.
Simply having a unique and potentially lucrative business idea, is in itself, no guarantee of eventual success as an entrepreneur. Sometimes picking up on an old idea that has been left on the shelf, or someone elses current idea that is not being well executed, can result in better end results. This excellent article, strongly suggests that it is not the quality of the idea or the originality of the idea that leads to success, but the way in which any idea is executed that determines the eventual outcome.

Even though we get tired of the "Well, duh" studies, they really are important for establishing what is "common sense" and what is "common assumption." So. Now we know. Women with high family support and limited pressure to achieve the 'thin and beautiful' ideal have a more positive body image.

I write about empathy a lot on these pages because it can’t be emphasized enough as a critical skill in business—and one that’s missing from most business interactions (See “The Great Empathy Famine”). Today’s blog provides some specific tips for how to make empathy commonly practiced instead of commonly absent. Empathy is the Life Blood of Influence Empathetic listening is the key to being influential. It’s not enough to be smart and well-researched and just plain right, even (especially) when you have the evidence to prove it. You have to earn the right to be right.

Love. It is often one of those words rarely discussed around the leadership table but it needs to be more often. Truly effective leaders understand this concept and they live it out at work and at home every day. Love is often one of those words rarely discussed around the leadership table but it needs to be more often. I’m not talking about love in the sense of a feeling, I’m talking about how we treat those who we lead. It’s about how we care, encourage, support and empower those around us and it matters… a lot. You see, truly effective leaders understand this concept and they live it out at work and at home every day. That’s why I am excited about the release of Love Works: Seven Timeless Principles for Effective Leaders by my friend Joel Manby, CEO and President of Herschend Family Entertainment (which operates many national theme parks such as Dollywood, Stone Mountian, and Silver Dollar City). In the book, Joel, who you may have seen featured on the hit CBS reality-TV series Undercover Boss, shares how leaders at every level can harness the meaning of love, the verb, and improve their culture and bottom line. It is a practical and “how-to” guide for all leaders – whether you lead a company or a carpool.

We can't change direction in our lives until we dig deep and find out what gives our lives meaning. In this guest post, former FBI agent LaRae Quy shares three ways. Many of us have a love/hate relationship with truth. We tell ourselves we want to know the truth, but we’re very selective about the kind of truth we seek. About others, yes—and usually about world events and situations that impact us directly, but we are less receptive to revelations about ourselves. In fact, self-knowledge is a two-edged sword because we might find out something about ourselves that we would rather not know. We’ve carefully packaged ourselves to look and act in a manner that ensures success in the world. Our ego has dressed us up for so long that many of us don’t even know how to begin to peel back the layers of illusion to expose cold, hard facts about ourselves.
