“Survival of the fittest” is not the same thing as “survival of the best,” though not apparent at first glance. “Fittest” means “most able to become a grandparent.” Sound weird? You might “fittest” means “most able to create offspring,” but that’s not true if the offspring themselves are unable to continue the process of reproduction. A horse mated with a donkey creates a mule which is sterile; the parents in this case cannot become grandparents, and thus is an evolutionary dead-end.

Even in the early 2000s, smartphones were not nearly as ubiquitous as they are today. Technological innovations have allowed business to become more efficient operations and have even enabled local businesses to expand their business globally.

Most interesting jobs require creativity these days but the understanding of what makes people creative, or how they can be more creative, is limited. Understanding which behaviours correlate with creativity, and maybe enhance it, is one way to think about improving ourselves on this dimension and improving our ability to recognise and enhance creativity in others (important for recruiters and managers).

By Lea Schneider. First impressions in business are not just reflected in how you dress or handle yourself. They are also made by your physical environment. As a professional organizer who has worked with small business owners, I’ve learned that some of the people who are the very best at what they do are not necessarily the greatest at keeping their space clean.

I spent that afternoon flipping through the pages, discovering a whole new world of excitement, curiosity and wonder. Hours later, as I warmed my hands by the fire of these same magazines my mom set ablaze, I was left only with the images of naked ladies dancing in my heads.
