“Hindsights” Graduation Speech by Guy Kawasaki. This is a transcript of a high school graduation speech that Guy Kawasaki gave several times.  Unfortunately, I cannot find a video of it.  However, it is a great read.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.  When I was in business school, I wondered why Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs was brought up in almost every class from Management to Accounting.  Now I understand.  It is an incredibly useful tool for understanding and predicting both human and organizational behavior.
