Twitter is good for collecting thoughts that occur on the spur of the moment, or collecting tidbits information from your readings.  Here are some of my collection of thoughts that I twittered to myself as I go around my daily stuff.

-More and more I am startng to think that being successful is not merely a matter of how much you excel as in how you choose and prioritize on what you excel in.

( This was my thought when I discussed with many employees who seemed to be very talented, but whose focus now is littered all over and thus is not able to bring the desired results they seek in their work.  They simply are trying to do too many things which on reflections are not priorities.  This is also something I should constantly remind myself….)
