Beware, the Fo(u)rth of March

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Et tu Brute?

Nope, this isn’t about the Ides of March.  Instead it is about the ide(a)s of March!

BrightHouse, an Atlanta based company featured in this article in Inc. Magazine, holds an event each year called March Fo(u)rth.  During that day, each employee is encouraged to do something new and extreme. Skydiving?  Rock climbing?  Snowboarding on the half pipe?  Whatever the employee wants to try and has never tried before, s/he is encouraged to try it that day.

I really love this idea about trying something new.  Why?  Because new experiences can lead us to new ways of thinking, new and better ideas, and potentially, a richer way of life.

So, March 4th isn’t that far away.  Will you take the March Fo(u)rth challenge?  If so, what are you going to do that you’ve never done before???
