On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two young men graduated from the same college. They were very much alike, these two young men. Both had been better than average students, both were personable and both - as young college graduates are - were filled with ambitious dreams for the future.
Recently, these men returned to their college for their 25th reunion.
They were still very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had three children. And both, it turned out, had gone to work for the same Midwestern manufacturing company after graduation, and were still there.
But there was a difference. One of the men was manager of a small department of that company. The other was its president.
What Made The Difference?

You may be utterly surprised that Countrywide, the embattled lender actually posted an amazing 32 percent jump on Friday when it announced 3rd quarter results. Was it the stellar green earnings? No, it actually announced a whopping red $1.2 billion loss for the third quarter, the first quarterly loss in 25 years. Is it that the overall housing market is taking a turn? No, here in California DataQuick just announced a record number of notice of defaults, the highest since it started keeping records. Then what could it be? How about a simple bracelet promise? Yes! Just like a middle school promise ring, Countrywide gave the entire market an assurance that it will be profitable again in the forth quarter. We should take a look at the current trajectory:
Quarter Ended September 30, 2006: Net Earnings:$648,000,000
Quarter Ended June 30, 2006: Net Earnings: $485,000,000
Quarter Ended September 30, 2007: Net Loss: ($1,200,000,000)

At its 2007 Financial Analyst Meeting on July 26, Microsoft announced that revenue for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 surpassed $800 M US in fiscal year 2007. This is a growth rate of over 35% from last year. This success appears to be floating the Microsoft Business Division's bottom line, which increased its revenue by nearly $1.5 billion over the last quarter. The Q4 FY2007 earnings are detailed on Microsoft's site. There's more information on CNN Money here. I particularly like this quote taken from Todd Bishop's Blog, at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer website: The company says the trend puts SharePoint on track to become a billion-dollar product, based on annual revenue. Something worth noting is that these figures can't take account of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 adoption, which is technically "free" on a licensed Windows Server 2003 installation. I've seen many organizations that are building solutions on top of WSS and won't count directly as generating

If your home is like most, your cupboard is filled with mineral and vitamin pills or tablets. Unfortunately, the majority of these products were made in the exact opposite fashion appropriate for the body. In fact, their engineering is specifically designed for bottom dollar profit, not better health!To understand this dilemma, let’s you and I do a quick exercise. Let’s suppose we decide to go into business together. In fact, we decide to go into the traditional supplement business to sell tablets and pills.Well, let’s get at it!First off, let’s pick a product how about a calcium supplement? Next we need raw materials to make the product with. Since we are in business our goal is to turn a profit, right? So we want to buy low cost raw materials. How about the number 1 used ingredient in most calcium supplements and fortunately it’s one of the cheapest you can find too, calcium carbonate, the blackboard chalk we talked about earlier!Second, we need machines to put the product
