Jim Collins and the critical questions in life

I wanted to start this blog because of interesting climbers like Jim Collins.

I’d seen him on Charlie Rose talk about how good companies become great ones and he threw in a couple topics that were even more exciting for me. He talked about his love for climbing and the importance of climbing to “fallure”. Also, he heard many responses to his book “From Good to Great Book” from the social sector (non-profits and government organizations) and thought: “If we only have great companies, we will merely have a prosperous society – not a great one.”

Read his answer to: “What longtime belief have you changed your mind about” and decide for yourself whether it’s more important to first determine what to do in life than who you spend your time with.
