		<description><![CDATA[It bugs me when people say &#8220;life isn&#8217;t fair.&#8221; For one, it&#8217;s a disempowering belief. It encourages people to act as victims, or to view life as capricious. It&#8217;s much more productive to see yourself as empowered (at least to some extent). For another, it can&#8217;t be true. If we take the definition of fair [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tekhne.wordpress.com&amp;blog=151768&amp;post=128&amp;subd=tekhne&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t find any of the deep business insights I was hoping for.
