Success: Passion, Persistence and Pushy Mothers

I recently completed the first term of a new course at UCT called "Attention Economics", where I was working with a group of bright undergrad commerce students who are all interested in learning how to find their place in the world and make a success of their careers. This has been an invigorating and fulfilling process for me, and I think that much of the value for myself and the students has been the shared exploration of the potential within us.

Anyway, this video is for them. And I hope that you enjoy it too:

Fantastic clip Dave and well done on serving your community so well.

Thanks Dave. I loved this - am about to share it with my team. The word 'crap' will become part of our company's lexicon from tomorrow - joining other great words like 'the goblin' (its a long story) and 'how fascinating'.

Hey Paul, it was interesting how diverse the approaches to the essay were. I was impressed with your writing and the debate you raised. We were very strict on the marking though, as is necessary for a new subject.
