Three things I learned while my plane crashed.

I'm used to TED videos telling us how to be better, faster and cheaper. This one - just five minutes long - really captured my attention for a few days now, though. Nothing matters more than being a better parent. Nothing.

Read the book, kids.

Mr. Jobs’s biographer, Mr. Isaacson, whose book will be published in two weeks, asked him why so private a man had consented to the questions of someone writing a book. “I wanted my kids to know me,” Mr. Jobs replied, Mr. Isaacson wrote Thursday in an essay on Time.com. “I wasn’t always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did.”

I'm a huge fan of all that Steve Jobs was and will continue to be. But if my son has to come to "know me" by reading a book, I'll consider myself the biggest failure in the world.
