http://www.huffingtonpost.com/randy-taran/10-easy-ways-to-b-happy_b_597573.html

Happiness is an elusive thing — we all want it, but why are some people more happy than others? We only have to look at young children at play to notice that they exude happiness. Why is it that wonderful quality seems to fade as we grow older? It doesn’t have to. The latest findings in neuroscience suggest that the brain can change. With certain exercises and practices, we can indeed harness more happiness. The byproduct of living happily makes us more successful on every level, not just in terms of career success.

5 Ways to Get Happy By Tapping Into the Power of Desire

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/randy-taran/5-ways-to-get-happy-by-ta_b_650802.html

Desire is defined as will, yearning, aspiration, devotion or passion. Everyone is born with it.

check out this, as well!  http://www.kauffman.org/

Best, — Clark

Up to 20 aspiring founders will have the opportunity to launch high-growth, transformative companies in the education market via the Kauffman Labs Education Ventures Program.

Leading Through Leverage

The Kauffman Foundation is often referred to as one of the largest foundations in the United States—or as the world’s largest foundation devoted to entrepreneurship. Both are true, thanks to Ewing Kauffman’s generosity and foresight. However, these “largest” factoids may give the false impression that we can influence society just by virtue of our size or spending power.

Time
September 9 at 8:30am – September 10 at 4:00pm
Location Josephine Butler Parks Center

2437 15th Street, NW
Washington, DC

The Internet Identity Workshop has been held semi-annually in California since the Fall of 2005. The 10th IIW was held this past May and had the largest attendance thus far. There have been many requests to have an IIW on the East coast, and now the Open Identity for Open Government Initiative and the recently released National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is providing a timely incentives to have one in Washingt…on.

IIWs focus is on “user-centric identity”, addressing the technical and adoption challenge of how people can manage their own identity across the range of websites, services, companies, government agencies and organizations with which they interact. IIW-East will be about a whole range of issues including the government adoption of open identity technologies for use by government websites.
