Who knew that so many positives can come out of big business?

For one thing, he says, big companies have the ability to create jobs. Under Armour now employs 15,000 people directly in its 26 global offices, and indirectly hires close to a million people across its supply chain. "There's upwards of three quarters of a million people making Under Armour stuff at any one time," he says. "That's going to grow 50% over the next year, and that means we're going to be able to affect a million to a million and a half people."

Nice prompt from NB to start reading again.

Read deep again. Read the original not the news article puffery. Read the classics. Read difficult stuff. Read Chaucer in the original and imagine a world without the sound bite. Spend days in a good library, pulling books from shelves and reading deep, deep, deeper. Read until synapses start to spark each other and you achieve simplicity the far side of complexity.

I have to admit, my reading progress has stalled in the last few months. Haven't picked up a new book in three months. Time to start reading again.
