Jeff 's Daily Excellence Pill

For some strange reason during an internet search, I found myself diverted to Time.com's First Annual Blog Index. It's an interesting list and I noticed Time.com had rated the blog of one of my favorite books, Freakonomics - the hidden side of everything. Some really interesting questions are posed in the book, e.g., "Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?" The blog continues asking and answering such unusual questions.

What I love about the book is that it turns conventional wisdom on its head. And that's exactly what we need to do in life isn't it? Instead of always following the herd and going where everyone goes, thinks, feels and acts, imagine what type of interesting life you'll have when you follow your heart and passion.

So do something to add that little Zing and Zest to your life. It could be as simple as taking a different route to work in the morning, or having lunch with someone super interesting outside your usual circle of friends, or planning to go skydiving in the Spring. Zing and Zest - You deserve it!
