The First Test Every Human Must Take

A while back, I read The Big MOO—Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable, written by an author referred to as "the Group of 33."  Essentially, marketing wiz Seth Godin asked 33 of his pals to contribute a section to the book. 

One of my favorite lessons from The Big Moo is on Dr. Virginia Apgar.  In 1952, she and another physician invented the Newborn Scoring System, also known as “APGAR.”

APGAR stands for Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity and Respiratory.  It’s the first of many tests we take as human beings. 

This test is not graded on a curve and you must pass this test before taking any others.  Thanks, Dr. Apgar!
