Today I noticed something strange on an egg as I prepared my breakfast. It had been stamped with a printout of the farm it came from, and a date. I don't know if it was a laid date, collected date, or best before date, but there it was. Bizarre. Is this really necessary?

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
