We must think again: about using reserves properly, constantly renewing technology, and preparing for the unexpected. Post Segments Why does our c...

Mike KimGetty Images One hundred seconds. Thats how long it takes. First, you hear the voice of Earl Woods, and a prophecy for his son. That he would transcend the game of golf. A prophecy that would come true in more ways than one. And then, 100 seconds into HBOs Tiger, you see Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of all time, moving at a glacial pace, shuffling in his bare feet to the back of the room where his mugshot will be taken.
