Subscribing to success

I recently subscribed to two magazines, Fast Company and Fortune, even though both are available for free online. There’s something different about holding the pages in your hand, as if somehow you can channel the wisdom and knowledge through your fingertips. Your own potential for success immediately seems more tangible, more possible, when you flip through the magazines and read those articles about the twenty-something entrepreneurs who carved a life out of practically nothing, or the start-up company that survived a succession of embarrassing mistakes. Fast Company’s May cover story about Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg was more than inspiring; it reaffirmed my belief that anyone who is talented and works hard will succeed, undoubtedly and inevitably. These are subscriptions not only to two worthwhile magazines, but to a powerful mindset.
