SCOTTISH author Alexander McCall Smith reckons he writes five novels a year – but readily admits he does have a tendency to lose count of them. During lockdown, this most hardworking of writers has been as busy as ever with no fewer than six new books coming out this year - definitely. Since coming to prominence with The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series set in Botswana, he’s written more than 60 books – he’s again not sure of the exact number – and sold more than 40 million, translated into 46 languages, making him one of the world’s most prolific and popular authors.
Thoughts from the ammo line
Ammo Grrrll IF TRUE. She writes:
Two horrendous phrases barged their way into the common lexicon during the opposition to President Trump, his Supreme Court nominees and especially with the wretched #MeToo Movement: “credibly accused” was the first one, effectively supplanting “innocent until proven guilty,” and the second was “if true.”
Here’s how “if true” worked. There would be a wild rumor, touted endlessly on CNN and MSNBC. Someone would say it for example, that a Presidential candidate who was a NOTORIOUS germophobe had urinated on a bed in Russia then the “media” would have to “investigate” it because someone had said it. Then as it would start to fall apart, the brainless news-heads would assert, “Yeah, but, IF TRUE, that would be a very bad thing.”
The Entrepreneur s overlooked cousin: companies must foster Intrapreneurs for post-Covid creativity
Kevin D’Silva is founder and CEO of Ideateplus
Entrepreneurs are the supposed heroes of our era. They are simultaneously titans of industry, Renaissance artists, and Hollywood Stars, building products, empires, and literal rocket ships that will be spoken about for decades to come. In the modern economy, those who create something out of nothing command ultimate respect.
But the entrepreneur has a less glamorous, oft-overlooked cousin, loitering just outside the spotlight. I’m talking about the intrapreneur: someone with a similar go-getting spirit but who creates change from within the large organisation they work for, rather than by building a new company themselves.
