...house is one of the most famous landmarks in Amsterdam. And rightfully so. Anne is most famous for keeping a diary throughout the Holocaust, and hence became a symbol for the mass murder of Jews during the Second World War. Originally from Germany, Anne and her family fled to the Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and his National-Socialist party came to power in 1933. This house is where they hid when the Nazi’s came to the Netherlands and anti-jewish measures were introduced. The Anne Frank House tells the story of Anne and her families lives and the ultimate destruction caused by Hitler and his extreme right-wing ideas. Upon exiting the museum, I passed the visitors book, where I wrote five words: “Donald Trump should come here.” The Oxford Dictionary defines the word 'trump' as an admirable or helpful person. Does that sound like a suitable word to be associated with such a right-wing extremist? Someone who uses racism to rise to power? Someone who proposes mass-deportation in order to make America great again? Someone who blames a specific group of people for all of his countries problems? Someone who has had no leadership or civics experience at all and is now running for President of the United States - one of the most influential positions of leadership in the world? No. I think a more suitable title for a man such as Donald Trump, should be Mein Trumpf. It is...

"It points to the thing you want most in this world.” “If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.” Saskatchewan as a Player in the Global Resources Market in 2014 Jean-Pierre Colin Capital Markets Strategies JPColin@Sympatico.Ca Mobile: 416-573-4300 2 Synopsis Jean-Pierre Colin draws from his 34 years of experience and wisdom as an investment banker and mining executive to outline criteria for success for mining companies. He also discusses how junior mining company executives in Saskatchewan must “think differently” because: seemingly small decisions by management can affect corporate survival in these times of crisis in the financial markets the new sources of capital that have emerged in the last decade impose important changes in corporate strategy the mining industry in Saskatchewan as a group must promote innovative initiatives to enhance it’s continued importance in the provincial economy. IF EVERYONE IS THINKING ALIKE, THEN NO ONE IS THINKING 3 Survival of an Industry Charles Darwin: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Is this a down cycle or a fundamental and permanent shift in capital markets? For how long? What will make it revert? Who will survive? IF EVERYONE IS THINKING ALIKE, THEN NO ONE IS THINKING 4 Hard...

...in consumption of software and easy penetration of market through Internet resulted in increased software piracy, creating a big market in pirated software. According to estimates the global rate of piracy was 59.9% in the year 2010 that means out of the total software sold worldwide 59.9% was fake. Piracy causes huge losses of revenues to software companies every year. This has made the issue of intellectual property protection for software all the more important. The software is a complex product, which has given rise to a totally different kind of industry in which the input and the output consist of intangibles. The ownership of intellectual property in software industry influences the returns to investments, and the market structure. How best to protect and regulate ownership of intellectual property? The issue of software patenting has thus attracted considerable attention and debate....

...300 SECRETS 1. A life is a terrible thing to waste. So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most, wins. 2. A world-class company puts systems in place to ensure consistency of results. If you want to get something done and if you want to see consistent results, build a system around it. Celebrate the previous days wins and then rededicate to work for the mission. Systems‛ thinking builds structures into your life so that your best practices actually get integrated into your life. Systems allow you to live in a proactive rather than in a reactive way. And having a bunch of systems in place to keep you at your best doesn't mean that your life will be overly structured and full of stress Because nothing deprives a human being of happiness as much as seeing a life being wasted. 3. ABC. Always Be Connecting with everybody, everything around you. The best leaders build strong...
