He also says: Women Dominate Economic Growth. Which the Economist said before.
And I hope to agree.

Gonna like Tom Peters, but someone please tell that guy that yellow on blue doesn't work on a ppt, except if you wanna promote Sweden, for me it just hurts (just like orange on neon-green...).

oh, and I love the comments he makes on the diversity of the Unilever Board of Directors, kinda rings a bell with a comment I made at this one time at an AIESEC event, about a year ago... :-D

a quote:

: Name:sarita; Location:Switzerland

THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, somehow studying at the Institute of International Studies in Geneva right now, but I spent half of last year in India, working and travelling I LIKE: cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, playing around with html, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, talking to friends and living live consciously I DON'T LIKE: the "skin" on the milk coffee, arrogant people, not getting noticed, if life's only a big blur
