Like a painting makes an idea crystal clear, projects need a shared vision to inspire and motivate people to work together and make it happen. Having a list of objectives, plans, and tools are good, but without vision it’s hard to excel, and put the power of imagination to work for us. Without imagination we will never get to excellence. So how do we build a vision? Make a mockup, as detailed as you can, and share it. Make people improve on it, and embrace it. Then start building! Click for high-res photo

Good news those Easter eggs may be good for you!   A study by the European Heart Journal shows chocolate reduces blood pressure and risk of hard disease. All it takes is a small chocolate square a day. And by the way, dark chocolate and milk chocolate are the ones to get.

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.
 Dwight D. Eisenhower. Although he was referring for war, I have found that on any important human project, planning gets us ready to face the unexpected.

In spite of disasters people of good heart always help.  I congratulate George Clooney and the more than 100 actors and singers on the Telethon for Haiti. Great performances, inspirational messages and a good cause. Jesus said that every time we help those in need, God himself is grateful to us. Charity is a fundamental Christian principle (Matthew 25:31-46) and is also found in Judaism. There are many ways we can help. One way is purchasing the show on iTunes.com/Haiti. All proceeds go to help the recovery effort. Another way is going to the American or Canadian website supporting this effort and donating there. We can all help. Click for high-res photo
