Entrepreneurs

I thought this was a good one:

I am really annoyed with blogger, I used to get all my blog comments emailed to me, and now I noticed there are quite a few that just appear in my comments with no other indication. So Michael, Alexandra, Adam, Kathy, Lux and so on...I catch most of them eventually.

Did you hear that Sheryl Sandberg's husband Michael Goldberg passed away suddenly at age 47? Apparently he fell off a treadmill in a Mexico hotel gym and suffered a fatal head injury. Sandberg is the 45 year old COO of Facebook. Goldberg was a Survey Monkey executive.

Husband M and I went to the library the other night to attend this entrepreneur talk that was being hosted. We are not entrepreneurs but 4 of them spoke on their lives and their accomplishments. My plan was to take son K to learn something but he ended up having to be at his part time job that night. Entrepreneurs are a special type of person. Many start from childhood with newspaper routes, lemonade stands, and end up recruiting other kids to do the actual work while they collect most of the profits. They tend to 'connect the dots', or network to find people who can help them get the job done. I am always amazed at their boundless energy, ability to multi-task, and they seem to forget to eat, not having enough hours in the day to accomplish all they have planned.  It must be exhausting just knowing someone like that, although there is much to be admired about them.
