Don’t you just laugh when people who’ve ‘made it’ telling the rest of it how to ‘keep it real’? I guess I must be looking for laughter ’cause I keep stumbling across these gut busters. A few months ago Sir Elton John, musician, was saying how careerism had got out of hand and was creating a culture of conformity (something like that). Cheers Elton! And then I read an interview with Apple founder Steve Wozniak, which concludes: “Woz provided a philosophical moment after he was asked about his love of pranks. “When you die, how many yachts you have won’t be as important as how many laughs you had,” he said.” Here’s laughing at you Steve! <note: edit to ‘laughing with you’ should a job offer come through..>

And ain’t that a good environmental fit? And don’t that signal the death of the alpha male? ![]()
