LUCK Matters !!!
With a pile of 300 resumes on his desk and a need to pick someone quickly, my boss told me to make calls on the bottom 50 and toss the rest.
"Throw away 250 resumes?" I asked, shocked.
"What if the best candidates are in there?"
"You have a point," he said.
"But then again, I don't need people with bad luck here."

How much you can spend on a diaper and a soap ??

Amazon acquires Diaper.com, Soap.com for $500 million. got this article delivered in my inbox from ZDnet.com and what I like most in that is the statement of Bezos
“I’m not sure which is more unpleasant–changing diapers, paying too much for them, or running out of them”
Amazon on Monday officially acquired Quidsi, the company that operates Diaper.com and Soap.com for $500 million in cash. Amazon also assumes $45 million in Quidsi debt.
According to Amazon, Quidsi will continue to be and independent venture run by its current management team. That blueprint was established when Amazon bought Zappos. The Quidsi deal is expected to close in December.
