Apparently riding a bicycle at age 79 is not one of those 7 habits.

I'll wait for the follow up book- "7 habits of highly effective morticians"

Was this event in his daily planner?

One Highly Ineffective Habit of a Bicyclist

I hate fucking books like that. When his sales were dwindling suddenly this fucker created an eighth habit.

My girlfriend is reading one of those types of books right now. I had to go in the other room to get the title: What Got You Here Won't Get You There. Usually the authors are only successful at selling their books, which most often contain advice that is either impractical or simply common sense.

About 15 years ago I worked for a company that owned a huge family of patents that covered the secure transmission of encoded information over a network, particularly a wireless network. You can see the potential something like that had in the mid-90s.

This company needed to raise venture capital and that's how I got involved. I raised about 2.5 million dollars but I was having a difficult time getting my demands met for my investors, e.g., I wanted three seats on the board of directors and certain controls on how the money would be spent.

The douchebag that developed the patents, who happened to be the scion of a famous St. Louis family, decided to hire his dimwit buddy who was a professor at Southern Illinois University. Oh fuck! As if one academic wasn't enough to deal with. These two dopes did an end run around the board and decided to sue Iomega even though we were still way under capitalized.

To tell you what kind of dope this professor was, he embarrassed me at a meeting with Gemstar/TV Guide by explaining that he built a radio when he was five years old. Who cares? Fucking asshole. Anyway, back to the point of my story, he wasted company funds on copies of Who Moved My Cheese? for all directors and employees and handed them out at a meeting. I had to fly into Ladue, Missouri to get a copy of a fucking self-help book??? When I was leaving I left the book on the table. This asswipe says, "Oh, Bob, you forgot your book." I said, "Hey, I'll tell you what. When you bring in two and a half million bucks you can tell me what the fuck to read. How about that?" Needless to say, what little relationship we had went downhill from there.

Hate how these fuckers are "bestsellers" because vapid companies buy their books in bulk. 7 Habits is either self-evident common sense couched in jargon, or emotional blackmail -- oh, excuse me, making a transaction in my "personal bank account."
