Currently reading:
The End of Poverty by Jeffrey Sachs.
This has been a great read so far. It discusses why rich and poor
countries exist and how we can stop extreme poverty by 2025. Its
books like this one that make me appreciate economics beyond what they
teach in class. Read this! :)

| Lou Gerstner (the former IBM CEO) had a sign outside his office door that read:
There are four kinds of people.
Those who make things happen. Those to whom things happen
to. Those who watch things happen. And those who don't even
know things are happening.
I remember reading his book back in high school (when I still
did leisurely reading) and this quote is the one thing that I still
remember. Every now and then, I think about the meaning behind
these words. I'm pretty close to finishing college, and I think
it's very easy for people to fall into the habit of a 9-5 job where
they just do enough to get by their jobs. And I think for a lot
of people, maybe that's ok. But I'm not that type of
peson. I think it would be awesome if everyone could find
something that they really love, that they can really get excited about
and just want to jump up and down and shout about it. Maybe there
are people out there already like that but I think we can do better
still.
P.S. I'm going to make it a personal goal to read more this semester since reading is just awesome.
