A vivid, powerful and touching portrayal of childhood in a warn torn country and its impact on children's future by my extraordinary cousin @hadip. If you have a couple of minutes, I highly recommend you read below.
As I think about the children in today’s Afghanistan, I wonder how many millions will go through the same experience and mine, and I wonder if any of them will have a chance to realize their full potential. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

Today is a sad day! The world lost a pioneer of company culture, the shoe industry, Downtown LV, web advertising, and also a gentle soul who gave a part of himself to countless people. We'll remember Tony for that and the happiness he brought to so many people. RIP Tony Hsieh.

1/ Today companies with greater social and environmental impact have higher valuations than their competitors. Companies that pollute more are worth less.

11/ These companies also risk regulators and governments penalising them by constraining their activities and taxing them. Therefore investors will reduce their portfolios' exposure to them. Optimising risk/return/impact will deliver better returns than optimising risk/return.
