Good Work: Love & Work

Freud was once asked what he thought a normal person should be able to do well.   The questioner probably expected a complicated, “deep” answer.  But Freud simply said, “Lieben und arbeiten” (to love and to work).  It pays to ponder on this simple formula; it grows deeper as you think about it.  -Erik Erikson
 
Getting smart is a global priority for individuals, communities and countries.  As Fareed Zakaria argued today, building knowledge and skill and college completion rates should be at the top of the national political agenda.
Getting Smart is also a family business.  I have the good fortune to pursue a mission that I’m passionate about with people I care about.
