This isn't on the list, but I highly recommend reading 'The Leader Who Had No Title' by Robin Sharma. It's a leadership book that will keep you grounded while in pursuit of success/wealth. Worth the read!

Yea.. it's too bad they could have done a lot more with at the time. Looks like all the projects are abandoned.. the earliest activity I can find is from 23 months ago.

I paid a large portion of my tuition by building 4 of the University Department websites. UofT is Canada's biggest university. It was nice to pay them with their own money :P

This guy pitched his business on the Canadian Dragon's Den (inspiration behind Shark Tank) and all the VC's turned him down. It's a great novelty, and has been a hit with CND consumers ever since

Well.. to be honest, I don't understand why you would apply as an individual (for a second time)! Getting a team together is no easy task, it requires discipline amongst other things. YC has been pretty vocal about favoring teams than indiv

It doesn't matter what coke tastes like right now. It's all about marketing and feeding people the stories that make them fuzzy and warm inside, knowing every time they drink a coke they are that much closer to the gates of heaven. The tast

A better online shopping experience. One area especially is customer reviews and feedbacks. I don't want to read a review by anyone who buys the products.. that doesn't help me. I want to know if that someone is like me. has the same taste
