Mark Zuckerberg Was Highest Paid U.S. CEO of 2012

Mark Zuckerberg was by far the highest paid public CEO in the United States last year, according to a new report.

The Facebook CEO's total compensation for 2012 was nearly $2.3 billion, more than twice that of the next-highest paid CEO, according to GMI Ratings, which analyzed compensation for more than 2,000 CEOs of publicly traded companies.

Almost all of Zuckerberg's compensation for the year comes from income related to Facebook's IPO. On the day Facebook went public, Zuckerberg exercised 60 million stock options worth nearly $2.3 billion (though much of it was used to cover his taxes). He also received a base salary of $500,000 for the year, though starting this year, his salary changed to the symbolic $1 a year.

Richard Kinder, CEO of energy company Kinder Morgan, was second on the list with a total compensation of $1.1 billion. Other tech execs cracked the top 10 list as well, including Apple CEO Tim Cook (with $143 million) and Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff (with $109 million).

This Man sha, I wonder how he would have done if he didn't drop out...

21 Awesome Things to Say to Yourself

Self-talk works for some people but not for me. Looking in the mirror and saying, "I am awesome, I am awesome, I am awesome..." is a waste of time since a louder voice in my head is always shouting, "No you're not! No you're not!"

But I do like self-talk that results from something I've done. Because I've earned it, the doubting voice in my head goes silent.

Try it. I guarantee you'll feel a lot better about yourself. For the next seven days, put aside your standard to-do list and do what it takes to ensure you can say these things to yourself:

1. "I did something no one else was willing to do."

Pick one thing other people aren't willing to do. Pick something simple. Pick something small. Make the call no one will make. Help the person no one will help. Volunteer for the task everyone else avoids.

Instantly you will be a little different from the rest of the pack. But why stop? Keep going. Every day do one thing no one else is willing to do. After a week you'll be uncommon. After a month, you'll be special. After a year you'll be incredible. You won't be like anyone else.

You'll be you.

2. "That wasn't nearly as bad as I thought..."

The most paralyzing fear is fear of the unknown. (At least it is for me.) But nothing ever turns out to be as hard or as scary as you think.

Plus it's exciting to overcome a fear. You'll get that, "I can't believe I jumped out of an airplane!" rush, a feeling you may not have experienced for a long time. (And you may find that feeling is addictive, but in a good way.)

The Secret Key to Success and Failure - "You"

Aspiration is the greatest ally anyone can have in their rise to success. It gives "you" a reason to move forward despite obstacles and setbacks. But why put "you" in quotation marks? Because there is more than one you to consider. Human beings have divided natures. As pointed out by Plato two millennial ago when he compared the soul to a chariot being pulled upward by a white horse and downward by a black horse. Depending on which horse you encourage, your personal fate is in your hands.

Article: The Role of Attention for Creativity

The relationship between attention and innovation is complex. As we know, managing your attention well falls within the EI domains of self-awareness and self-regulation.

But to better understand how attention plays a role in innovation, let’s first look at the stages of creativity.

First, you've got to recognize that there is a creative challenge. The research on innovation in business shows there are two approaches: exploitation and exploration. In exploitation the creative challenge is to find new ways to make the most of the products you’ve got. In exploration you look widely to see what else you could do that is new and different. Leaders need to know when to explore, when to exploit – and how. And that starts with the simple awareness of what you are doing.

Editorial: 'My Obituary' - written by Charly Boy

Here is an article written by Charles Oputa, i thought you might want to read this....

Right about now, some of the readers will question the sense in capturing and casting this type of crazy captions for my articles. I only write for those who are patient enough to understand the creative beauty of my mind. I write for those who have depth enough to see beyond what they see, those who have a discerning mind.

Editorials: Don't Work for your Boss, Work for your Company

It’s no secret that businesses today are a bit obsessed with hierarchy. You probably go to work every day and report to someone, who in turn reports to another person...and so it goes up the hierarchical ladder. This traditional structure has established the idea that we’re all just “doing time,” attempting to please our bosses until it’s our turn at the top.

But this standard view of work is creating a huge disconnect between companies and their employees. In a hierarchal structure, you can wind up losing sight of your company’s goals and visions. You may end up feeling like a worker bee with little autonomy, and your passion for what you do, as well as the work you turn out, can suffer as a result. This is a lose-lose situation for both you and your company.
