They walked in circles

I witnessed a family walk circles outside a hotel chain. They were lobbying for better contracts. "Fair wages" they yelled one by one and in unison. Mothers, fathers and eight year olds. Someday I want to help them and help corporations listen to them. And broker a win-win. I understand organizations exist (unions) but a 3rd party who is business minded and connected, might help.

Macro view, micro action

Lately, I have been around some amazing and innovative thinkers. Each one brings an uncanny ability to spew insights with ease on provocative and relevant topics. I can learn a boundless amount from them. It is interesting to note however that the biggest challenge of them is all is how to take macro-level thinking to the micro-action level. To truly translate big thoughts into tangible value-add items for society ....

The 3E's and 3F's

Live your life with the 3E’s: Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. And the 3F’s: Faith, Family and Friends. And good karma will come your way.

Same cell, different sheet

Looking to reference a specific cell in all of the worksheets and display the results in separate cells on one summary sheet ...?

Enter the "sheet name" in a cell & use the fill handle to drag across all sheet names (however they are named - so long as you have the tab names in a list of cells).
Assuming these are in A1:A30, then in B1, enter:
=INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!E10"), assuming E10 is the repeating cell in each sheet, and fill this across. (That's an apostrophe inside the quotes.)
