I found this great video on BBC. It is an interview with Warren Buffett where he talks about the influence his Dale Carnegie course had on his life which he completed when he was 20 years old. The tried and tested principals of Dale Carnegie are evident in Warren Buffett’s style and business ethics. I admire both men tremendously and when I grow up I want to be just like Warren Buffett (well a female version)

Steve Jobs today unveiled the iPad.  Starting at $499 in 60 days you too can have your own iPad.  So what’s so special about it.  According to Jobs its ”a truly magical and revolutionary product,”  To be fair to Apple most of their products are revolutionary and magical and Steve will just go back to his desk now and let the raging fans sell his new product for him.  The Apple brand has the most incredible customer loyalty and this is due in no small part to their ability to delivery truly remarkable products.  I am looking forward to trying the iPad but only after I get the hang of my adroid which I have had for a year now.
