Sunday Seven: Interesting links from the past week

The Effort Effect. An interesting post by Guy Kawasaki at his blog How to Change the World on why some people succeed and others don’t. Good insights on what behavior to reward. (Summarizes a much longer article by Carol Dweck of Stanford).
Jesus and Your Job. An amazing 30-minute sermon (video or audio) by Nancy Ortberg on leadership, motivation, and caring about everybody in your organization from bottom to top. Scroll down to 3/4/07, “Jesus and Your Job”. Also via Guy Kawasaki.
Is your baby gay? Albert Mohler, the president of Southern Bapist Theological Seminary, wrote this insightful article about biology and sexual orientation. Naturally he’s been attacked by all sides. Via Relevant.
10 ideas to get you exercising. Boredom busters, accountability, focus on priorities, etc. Good stuff. Via Lifehacker.
The Prioritizer. A fun tool from CNN Money designed to help you choose between financial goals. But you can use it to choose what movie to rent too. Also via Lifehacker.
CoachPearl.com - To celebrate Tennessee’s Sweet 16 appearance, fans should check out Coach Bruce Pearl’s official website. Or his Wikipedia entry, which contains an alternate view. Go Vols!
The Number 23. I didn’t like it. That’s what I’m trying to say in this review at Relevant.

Wow, you really did your research for that 23 article. Good review! The Effort Effect is a good article also. I always try to encourage my kids work to be the best they can be. Some people think I’m trying to instill perfectionism into them but really I know that they are very smart which can lead to an attitude of laziness if they are rewarded for every good grade even if they didn’t have to work for it.
