culture

So many of us in business read incessantly about building proper company culture. That the culture of an office or a company in general decides the customer service, the dedication to excellence, the length of employment, and most importantly innovation. Companies like Zappo's, Apple, Southwest Airlines and Starbucks are known for both guarding their culture and relying on it to take over an entire market.

What is the culture in your life? What is the culture in your house? What is the culture of your downtown relaxation? Your religion, consuming, communication, information ingestion?

Lastly, and most importantly, what is the culture inside your head in regards to you?

What do we do when the chocolate of time is right next to us?
