Paul Orfalea (Kinko’s) is one of my favorite entrepreneurs. I like how he’s willing to say to a room full of Stanford MBAs that their grades don’t matter and that it’s MBAs like them who screwed up his business when FedEx bought it.
This talk may be a little long, but totally worth it — it’s the most business and life wisdom you’ll ever get in 60 minutes. Better still, read his book, ‘Copy This!’.

Joel Stein on Immigration, New Jersey's Indian Influx - TIME 
What the hell is wrong with Joel Stein? Perhaps the bigger question is, what the hell is wrong with TIME-FREAKING-MAGAZINE? If you have any interest in xenophobia in journalism at all, I urge you to take a look at this column that is creating waves in the Indian American community, and ponder the same.
He makes the point, in the most xenophobic — sorry, embarrassingly backward — way possible, about how immigration has caused his beloved town of Edison, New Jersey to become alienated to him and how the surge of Indians is the worst thing that could happen to the town and humanity in general.
Oh, and the kicker? He tries to pass it all of as a joke. That’s right. A hilarious take on ‘the immigration issue’ so that people will better see the ‘other side’ of it.
Luckily, on our side, we have Kal Penn.
I’m loving Things We Forget. Need to print these out and stick it on the wall.
