One thing is to know how to do things and another is to make it simple and accessible to others. This is the challenge for the big players when they go into management.

Technological innovation is the successful implementation (in commerce or management) of a technical idea new to the institution creating it.
Gratitude is at the center of a life of faith. It sounds to simple to be true, but isn't that the sign of all deep truth: so simple we're tempted to dismiss it, and so hard, it is exactly what God uses to change our hard lives.
