How to be a success
Any tips on how to be successful, in business or otherwise, are always welcome. It’s been reported that research has shown that excellence at a complex task requires a critical, minimum level of practice and the “magic number” for true expertise is 10,000 hours (equivalent to roughly three hours a day, or 20 hours a week, of practice over 10 years).

And dogged journalists have actually managed to strike a blow against spam! The BBC and other news media have been reporting a real success on behalf of all Net users. Worldwide spam was reduced by 70% when two ISPs in the States disconnected from the Net a company known to be harbouring spam gangs. Unfortunately it’s only a temporary respite as it’s likely the gangs will just move to ISPs that are further away from controlling societies. Well done to the Washington Post newspaper whose story precipitated this action.
