An excellent 10 minute video discussing the sources of motivation, and how it applies to corporate practices (both good and bad). If you take away employees' financial stress and provide them with some autonomy, the chances of your company flourishing increase. Keep your focus on the long-term and think of it as an investment.

Understanding Motivation

Thank You
This isn't music or politics related, but addresses a micro-issue that I feel is important.
I was brought up to let others know that I am thankful and grateful for their actions, whenever they do something for me, no matter how small. Because of that, I personally find it important for others to return the favor, and I feel offended when I don't receive the gratitude I feel I deserve. I am aware that some people don't verbally show their gratitude all the time. However, instead of taking it personally, I could make it clear that I require their gratitude. This video talks about how we have to take responsibility for our emotional needs and if we require something from our partners, friends, family, etc - then we need to make them aware of that. It seems obvious, but it's not something I've really thought of before, and I feel is valuable. Thus, I wanted to share it.
