    Never Stop Learning

    Recently I signed up for a pair of Coursera courses in topics in which I have little background, electrical engineering and robotics. When I shared this with my wife, she didn't so much as bat an eye as it has become commonplace for me to go off on educational tangents every few months. Through chatting with her I realized that not only do I never seem to stop learning, but that I'm a bit odd for doing so. There is something that I find very pleasant in exploring new topic

    A Different Point of View

    Recently I’ve found that my perspective has changed. Perhaps it is summer (finally) arriving here in the UK or maybe it is getting admitted into a great grad school for my MBA, whatever the cause I’m finding that I feel more optimistic than I have in a long time. I’m also finding that in conjunction with this wave of optimism I’m identifying opportunities and coming up with new ideas where recently I have struggled. This recent change has gotten me thinking about the impact
