What does matter now? Ishita Gupta and Seth Godin asked several notable people (well, with one exception—somehow, I wound up being part of such a distinguished group) to respond with a short essay on a single word that defines what mattered to each of us right now. For me, it's Technology (pdf). For Seth, it's Generosity (pdf). For Jacqueline Novogratz, it's Dignity (pdf). For Fred Wilson, it's Slow Capital (pdf).
Other contributors include Kevin Kelly, Dan Pink, Chris Anderson, Tom Peters, Gary Vaynerchuk, Guy Kawasaki, Jason Fried, Tony Hsieh, Derek Sivers and Jay Parkinson, and so many more. (Scroll down to view the full list of entries and contributors below.)
