Why It's More Imporant To Work Smater Than Harder
A man once secretly outsourced his job to China, played at work including surfing the internet, and made hundreds of thousands of dollars before being caught and fired
And it turns out that the job done in China was above par — the employee’s “code was clean, well written, and submitted in a timely fashion. Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building,”

I Luckily Don't Have To Worry About This Too Much In Socal
Tips for getting the most out of your cold-weather round
Perhaps the most important part of that preparation is picking out your apparel. In the northeast, you're taught at a young age to wear layers -- "you can always remove a layer, but you can't add one if you don't have it with you," the adults would say.
"Stretch indoors while your body is warm and be sure to hit a few balls on the range to get acclimated to the weather and temperature," he said.
The indoor stretch routine will help the body get limber quicker, as the blood gets flowing before heading outdoors.

An Odd Comparison Of 2 Driver Friendly Cars
How My Nissan Skyline GT-R Compares To The E30 BMW M3
No, the E30 M3 isn’t fast — but it isn’t exactly slow, either. In fact, I think it’s right at that enjoyable driving cusp where you have to really use the entire engine to exploit all of the car’s available driving pleasure. Compare that to the current M3, where a quick push of your right foot sends you hurtling to 60 miles per hour in around 4 seconds. There’s nothing like that in the E30: advanced computers and dual-clutch transmissions won’t work on your behalf to make sure you have fun. You have to do that for yourself.
In short: few popular vehicles live up to the hype created about them. This one does.
On the other hand, the Skyline feels a lot faster than the BMW. More turbos and more cylinders will do that. While handling is still impressive, it doesn’t quite feel as connected to the road as the M3 — possibly a function of its all-wheel drive, possibly a function of its larger size, and possibly a function of the fact that Nissan just couldn’t build ‘em like BMW back then. In fact, while I’ve generally found the Skyline offers tight, lively steering and handling, driving it back-to-back with the M3 yields no comparison: the BMW is king.
But a simple comparison doesn’t tell the whole story: these cars are icons, seminal vehicles that helped create an entire automotive segment, and it’s exciting just to see them parked together in one place.

This Product Continues To Be A Successful Overachiever
How UGG proved the haters wrong and became one of the most popular shoe brands
"These Australian sheepskin boots made their way stateside years ago and we were sure they were just a phase, but some ladies refuse to pack them away. We know they’re comfortable, but they’re so damn ugly!" The website bemoaned.
Yet shortly after, sales jumped up again – even if the shoes are often widely mocked.
As footwear expert Megan Cleary told Racked, "UGG is a brand that is never going to die."
UGG has managed to stay relevant — and ubiquitous — by being comfortable, rather than fashionable.
