I spent my time home with the chills watching old movies and TV shows (I recommend The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents) and reading obsessively about how dangerous this flu season was.
I'm passionate about getting the best people for each job. I like to give them freedom and flexibility so they can be effective. I have a relatively informal style and I value two-way feedback, as it helps people grow. Of course, there are several leaders outside Swiss Re who inspire me. They are generally down-to-earth and always pushing forward-gently, but surely.
I used daily-life objects to create love metaphors. It's not addressed to anyone specific; I just hope to be a person who can tell love stories that others can relate to.
If fuel prices rise, it is more likely homebuyers will look at downtown areas to avoid costly drives on a daily basis. As such, home prices around the city center will rise while those in suburban areas will fall, Chen said.
I thought farming would be easy for someone like me, who was born and grew up in a rural area, but it was much more difficult than I thought.
I have worked in companies where the highest paid person in the room would make a decision, and that was that. Right, wrong or indifferent, you were either the wolf or part of the flock of sheep. At Amazon, people are encouraged and expected to call out bad/suboptimal projects, ideas, patterns, etc., no matter the level. I have done this myself many times, twice to Senior Vice-Presidents that report to Jeff. I did it in a respectful manner, and simply pointed out that “the data did not justify the project” and/or “the data did not support their assertion.” I’m almost positive that at most other companies, this would have been equivalent to career crucifixion. Instead, I got polite praise in both instances, with no further argument.

If I’m a kid in my dorm room, I can create the next Snapchat, because the price of admission to create Snapchat is low. But I can’t create the next planetary mission, or the next exploration satellite. Most of the things that you want to do in space that are truly interesting, right now have a very high price of admission. And as a result, you can’t unleash the creativity of thousands and thousands of startup companies and kids in dorm rooms everywhere. But if we can reduce the cost of launch by a factor of 10 and a factor of 100 — and believe me, that’s going to take time and a lot of hard work — but if we can do that, you will be living in a completely new world. It will be a golden age of space exploration. You’ll see so many people. Then it will be a big industry, and a very dynamic and fascinating one. It will be a golden age.
If you order now, Echo Buttons won’t be available until after the holidays, so you’re too late to get them as gifts this year, but that’s probably a good thing for now.
If you rely too much on easing monetary policy, asset prices will be pushed up, and that would only fuel "short-term prosperity". As a result, speculative sentiment will boom, and the "national bullish market" may eventually experience sharp corrections if the real economy cannot be actually boosted, said Shen Jianguang, chief economist at JD Digits, a Chinese fintech group.
