The Winning Entrepreneur
They may be smarter than you. They may have more money than you. They may come from a different city or a better family. But they can NEVER outwork you. And they can NEVER outprepare you. And they just can’t outpractice you. And that’s why you’ll win. – #RobinSharma

Monday near Menlo Park, CA via Mobile
I have some very sad news to share.
This morning Josef Desimone, our executive chef, was involved in a motorcycle accident and I’m sorry to report that Josef has passed away.
Josef was a Facebook legend and institution. “Chef Josef” joined us in 2008 and built our culinary team from a handful of employees in a single café into a global team with dozens of world class restaurants. He never compromised on quality while maintaining total attention to detail. Josef played an incredibly important role in defining our culture during those first years and right up to the present.
Away from Facebook, Josef was just as energetic and driven. Almost every weekend he was volunteering with veterans’ organizations, hosting firefighter breakfasts or supporting some other valuable cause. He had a strong belief in giving back more in life than he took, and it shows in all the people who mourn him today.
We will find a way to permanently honor Josef’s legacy at Facebook soon. For now, let’s remember and celebrate the passing of a great friend, devoted mentor and inspirational leader.

Judul: Mandela Day — Thursday, July 18 — Please Join Us
Tanggal: Rabu, 17 Juli, 2013, 2:18 AM
July 18 is known around the globe as Mandela Day – a celebration of the wonderful Nelson Mandela,his tireless struggle for human dignity and his lifelong commitment to pursue the greater good. His compassion, moral courage and vision of selfless leadership have been an inspiration to so many of us.As people everywhere keep Madiba in their thoughts and prayers these days, The B Team, alongside Virgin Unite, is supporting the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory in South Africa to honour his extraordinary life and values.
The premise of Mandela Day is a simple one: each and every one of us has the ability to make a positive impact in the lives of others. It doesn’t take much to make every day a Mandela Day: if we were all to give just 67 minutes, one minute for every year of Madiba’s fight for human rights and social justice, we can make a huge difference. I for my part, will spend 67 minutes on July 18th mentoring a group of young entrepreneurs. But there is so much that we all can do.

Best Advice: Work Hard, Get Lucky
source : LinkedIn
February 26, 2013
The best advice I ever received was not really advice but more of an approach to living. It applies to several aspects of life: careers, relationships, sports; health and wellness, and probably many others.
The harder you work, the luckier you get
There’s some debate about who first made this statement. Ben Franklin apparently once said “Diligence is the mother of good luck,” although more recently people think of legendary South African golfer Gary Player as the person who coined the phrase. That’s probably how it was eventually passed along to me, as my Dad started teaching me golf and its many truisms at an early age (there are conveniently plenty of great life lessons learned by analogy on the golf course – one shot at a time; you can’t control a bad break; manage the highs and the lows; forget your opponents and play against par).
The idea that the harder you work the luckier you get has always appealed to me even though it seems like an inherent contradiction – after all, luck is the fortune which occurs beyond one’s control. I think about this concept a lot like my friend Lane Becker does who describes it in his new book Get Lucky: How to Put Planned Serendipity to Work for You and Your Business. Lane’s idea of planned serendipity fits with my approach in that it’s possible to put yourself in a position to benefit from an unexpected occurrence if you work hard and make the right choices. What some people call luck others call preparation, persistence and dedication to increasing your chances of being at the right place at the right time.
It’s easy to look from the outside to see another person’s extraordinary success in life, however defined, and label it plain luck. And, of course, there will always be cases in which a person is in fact the beneficiary of a completely random event, with that person having made no preparation nor done any work to increase the probability of something great happening. However, more often than not, when you dig in to a successful person’s past, there’s usually a rich story of perseverance, dedication and hard work that, at the very least, laid the groundwork for that person’s “lucky” outcome.
When it comes to business, for example, proactive networking, exhausting travel for in-person meetings or the relentless pursuit of new ideas and opportunities can often lead to serendipitous breakthroughs or connections that can change the course of an organization. I believe that the probability of landing that “lucky break” goes up in direct proportion to the amount of hard work contributed to the cause.
When it comes to relationships, for example, outgoing and personable people are typically exposed to a greater number of potential friends or partners than those who make minimal efforts to socialize. The more effort (i.e. work) you put into meeting people and exploring different opportunities, the higher the probability of serendipitously meeting someone that makes you feel like the “luckiest person in the world” (how often have you heard people say that?).
This approach, however, does not presume you can guarantee great things will happen – you obviously can’t cause an undefined or unexpected thing to occur. Yet you can increase the chances that good fortune will find its way to you if you work hard to put yourself in prime position.
To be lucky is to be in the minority of good fortune, and you can increase your chances of being a part of that minority. People who make an exceptional effort at something, which by definition puts them in the minority, are really just improving their odds of being at the right place at the right time. Few people are actually willing to travel the sparsely populated extra mile, but those who do find themselves in a place filled with opportunities. When those opportunities convert into realities, outsiders call it luck, having not seen the behind-the-scenes climb, yet insiders know it was made possible by out-hustling everyone else.
When you work hard on your golf game and improve from a 20 handicap to a 3 handicap, you’re putting yourself in a much better position to make a hole-in-one. You still need all the pieces to come together – the wind needs to be exactly right and you need a soft bounce when the ball hits the green, but because you’re skilled enough to repeatedly hit accurate shots over and over, when conditions are perfect you’re in the ideal situation to be able to capitalize.
The world often works in weird and unexpected ways, and there are no guarantees in life. I’ve never been a fan of counting on blind faith or strokes of pure luck to help me achieve my goals. The idea that the harder you work the luckier you get doesn’t guarantee good fortune, but it undoubtedly puts those who make the extra effort in the best position.
If there’s a positive outcome I’m striving for, I’ll follow this approach and work as hard as I can to put planned serendipity to work for me. If you’re pursuing something big or important in your life, I suggest you do the same!

World economy depend on each of it elements such : population, geographic condition,level of health,education,leadership,government will, and competitiveness amongst nation. Since the era of great West domination gradually fade, the magnitude goes to the East. The West supremacy is basically driven by human factor such : education,health level, and government will. Manufacture sector is the largest locomotive of nation economic growth aside with technology advance. Manufacture has the highest cost of production to maintain its sustainability growth. Simple example is work force or labor; though the automation production system has been well established, the urgency of skilled and medium skilled worker is on top list of company priority. The demographic status of nation shown how many work force available at market. While the manufacture needs more workforce, it comes to a decision to move it factory or business to other country with larger work force. The relocation, at first can solve the scarcity of labor and parallel with lower cost of production due to relocation usually took place on developing nation or even undeveloped nation with lower wages paid. As the target nation of relocation become ‘wealthier’ , the company sees it as not only base for its production; but as a lucrative market to sell its products. The circle of ‘mutual’ involved in many major relocation or even merger and acquisition scheme for multinational company. Demographic shown Asia is the region with more populated nation than any other parts of the globe. New emerging countries with its amazing leaps has shocked the West. The element of competitiveness of its people has found the ‘maturity level’ to surpass the West . With political will of its government, some of Asia nation become ‘master’ on his own land. The region include Indonesia,China,Russia,South Korea,India,Japan, and ASEAN members. Like it or not,China has surpass the West. The Asia region depend on one another to ride its economic growth. Such inter-dependency has long time been created among the nation. For example: the dependency of raw material ,the dependency to hub global market, the dependency to transportation, the dependency to exchange of knowledge, etc.
If the magnitude of Asia region can be distributed to other such to Africa and Oceania region; it would be a DREAM for all. Yes a dream that sooner come TRUE. Elements to elevate :
