TALKING TO STRANGERS
-by Malcolm Gladwell
The tale begins with Sandra Bland, the African American woman who in July 2015 was stopped by a traffic cop in a small Texas town. She was just about to begin a job at Prairie View A&M University, when a police car accelerated up behind her. Doing what almost all of us would have done, she moved aside to let the car pass. And just like most of us in that situation, she didn’t bother indicating. It was on that technicality that the cop, Brian Encinia, ordered her to pull over. Agitated and annoyed by Encinia’s ploy, Bland lit a cigarette to calm herself down. Encinia demanded that she put it out. When she protested, he instructed her to get out of the car and, after some minor resistance on Bland’s part, she was arrested and put in jail. Three days later, while still being held, she killed herself.

If you are an entrepreneur, a wannabe entrepreneur or teach about entrepreneurship there is Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight that is a must-read. Absolutely brilliant and inspiring story about the wins and struggles of a man with just a dream. Phil Knight even took writing classes at a University in his late seventies to portray his story and he did an amazing job. I could not put the book down and indeed it is one of a few books I could imagine reading again.
