He looks at the history of borders and sizes of countries. Flags, borders, countries, industries and companies don’t last very long. Institutions churn more rapidly today than ever before. A great and informative lesson in reducing your assumptions.

• John Thain’s Office: The Ground is Shifting Under Our Feet…...
  Hopefully, Marty Snyder (note the contagious smile) is making a return to blogging. Today’s piece shows him at his prescient best.
  “We are living in tight times. Wasteful expenses on personal pride and prestige can now come back to hurt you in a big way.”…..”Think hard about where and how you lunch, what you drive, and what kinds of perks you are paying for with stakeholder’s money. Think about symbolic shows of thrift, but also think about ways to show concern with value- its a fine line between cheap and careful, and an important one. Careful people will spend any amount if they think there is good ROI in it. Cheap people miss opportunity after opportunity, and often easily cross the line into excessive self-regard.”
