We've launched the Delver Blog at blog.delver.com (in addition to launching Delver itself, of course).
From my first post there:

Before launching you’re just basically throwing stones at a small target on an imaginary wall in total darkness. You don’t know what you’re doing. The best products (think the PC, the iPod, sliced bread) make perfect sense to us now, but that’s just hindsight. People who developed these products had really strong belief in what they were doing, but that belief was anything but based on facts.

Just as when the body is fighting many diseases, a little cold can be devastating - so is when the soul is troubled by many things, anything negative can bring a person to tears.

This is the image that greeted me this morning on the news channel TV while I was waiting for the elevator in my office building:



It's constantly discussed - why would we make such an unfair trade?
To me, it's very simple, really: two boxes with the bodies of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser are worth much more than 10,000 Kuntars.

To sum up the few last couple of days:
(Warning: self-important farts coming up)

1 Thomas J. Watson once said:
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
That sounds about right.

2 There is no way you can really know a person, in a short period of time.
By parallel, there is no way for someone else to know you.
So give up trying to draw them a picture of you.
All you can really do, is wake up in the morning, and say to yourself:
“You’re good. Just do good, and good things will happen”.
And hope for the best.

3 The only way there is in the world to be better is to find one or two people that are actually great, spend as much time close to them, listen and learn.
So the only talents that you really need are:
3.a Spotting great people.
3.b Listening.
