How to motivate people

I just came across this very interesting presentation on what motivates people to do things, to perform, etc.

I really enjoyed it, so I wanted to share it here with you. Cheers!

Gotta love the iPad!

All these years that my hubby and I have been together, I wished there was a better way for him to read all of his newspapers (I’m allergic to newspaper inks, and let’s face it, I got tired of wiping off black finger marks all over our interior white doors all the time…).

Well today, THE DAY has finally come – click on the link to see pictures of his new device - FedEx delivered his iPad to our home this morning and he has cancelled his regular “old fashion” newspaper subscription so that he could sign up for the digital edition on his iPad.

ALLELUIA!!!!!!

My prayers have finally been answered!

Now my husband looks like a handsome young James T. Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise with this thingamajig in his hands, and no more ink mess anywhere!

Thank you Apple for coming out with the iPad and help us become a greener household. It helps us save trees and conserve energy (although newspapers are a recycled product, it still takes a lot of energy to recycle the fibres, etc… ) – I call this a WIN-WIN!

And now, we can read the NY Times, the awesome USA Today, etc… it’s really beautiful. I love it. I have an iPod Touch, which has been great for me to watch movies on while mom sleeps during her full days of chemo at the cancer center, it helps keep me busy for the day that we spend there and it’s small and portable, but I can see the awesome things we’ll be able to do with the iPad as well.

Well done Apple, well done.
