Goal for staff: Make each day your masterpiece. You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be.

Goal for editors & advisor: Define success for those under your leadership as total commitment and effort to the team's welfare. Then show it yourself with your own effort and performance. Most of those you lead will do the same. Those who don't should be encouraged to look for a new team. — John Wooden

Week 9: Satire!

Driving the Rich into the Sea: A great example of satire, this piece offers an interesting idea regarding taxes and the rich. What makes this a successful satirical piece? What kind of MA issues would be perfect for satire? Remember -- this is more than mockery; this is about presenting something so ridiculous the actual issue becomes ridiculous.

Better Ideas Through Failure: Clearly this is a hot topic right now. If you read the NYT piece, how is this one different? If you didn't read the other piece, what are your thoughts on this issue? How does failure play into life at MA? If you life? Why does failure have such a bad rap?
