101 Greatest Running Tips
"Stop fighting it!"
That's what a fellow marathoner yelled at me years ago in the middle of a very windy out-and-back marathon.
"Don't fight the wind, man," he said. "Wait until the turnaround, then pick up the pace when the wind is at your back."
The sheer simplicity of that advice! Until he mentioned it, I was dug in. Wind be damned, I was going to keep my pace or die trying. Thanks to that veteran marathoner's advice, I did neither. I ended up running a great race.

How to Manage Twitter
At the time of this writing, I have over 91,000 Twitter followers. No, I don’t read every word they type. No, I don’t recommend that you try to get 10s of thousands of followers. But I’m frequently asked how I keep up with everyone, and so, I’m going to update something I wrote once before in November of 2008. I hope this is useful to you.

Hashing Things Out
You never know what story will draw you in. Could be Israel, could be health care, could be “Entourage.” Or it could be #freeskip.
For some lizard-brained reason, the arrest on July 16 of Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Harvard professor, won’t let me go. The police reports haven’t been enough. The news accounts haven’t been enough. The White House intervention hasn’t been enough. The opinions of dozens of blogger-sages — including Gates himself, as well as writers like Christopher Hitchens and Stanley Fish who like to finish off a subject — haven’t been enough.
This has happened to me before, with O. J. and with episodes involving Hillary Clinton, so I knew what was up: I’d really never be satisfied. My attraction to the Gates-arrest narrative — with its potential for curiosity, surprise, indignation and pedantry on themes from race to police procedure to academia to the history of Boston — struck me as a craving induced by industrial design, like Southwestern egg rolls at Chili’s. Not until the whole of Gatesgate had been unpacked, as people said in graduate school (where, full disclosure, Gates was briefly my adviser), could I move on. Was anyone with me? Or did everyone else healthily revolve with the news cycle?
Enter #freeskip and hashtags. Hashtags are curious words and mashed-together phrases earmarked with a hash symbol (better known, perhaps, as the pound sign). Read the complete article Hashing Things Out.

9 Qualities That Will Rock Your Career
Success in life is always relative. Some people are happy with small achievements while there are others who won't be satisfied until mountains are moved.
Regardless of our ambitions, our career spans through a series of jobs and experiences that truly polish our personality and will. While we all have defining moments that will determine our core beliefs around hard work, persistence, determination, etc., these are all simply components of a greater foundation that defines 'you'. A rocking rise through corporate ranks involves a radical understanding and possible change in your attitude and behaviors.
