Scott McNealy is the co-founder of Sun Microsystems. Three weeks ago, he relinquished the CEO title to Jonathan Schwartz, his ponytail-wearing colleague. This past week, at JavaOne, the world's largest software developers conference also sponsored by Sun, McNealy gave the keynote speech.
A la Dave Letterman, McNealy listed the Top Ten advantages of NOT being a CEO.
10. “I don’t have to apologize for stuff I say to Wall Street.”
9. “I’m no longer on the most overpaid CEO list.”
8. “I just say, ‘See Jonathan on that.’”
7. “I read The Hockey News without guilt.”
6. “I shave even less often.”
5. “I don’t have to sign the SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) certification anymore.”
4. “I have someone to blame now.”
3. “I can sell my last business suit.”
2. “Jonathan doesn’t golf, so I guess I gotta do it.”
1. “My new office is VERY close to the men’s room.”
At least 7 out of 10 of those are reasons why I relinquished the title of Nat'l Sls Mgr and rejoined the ranks of producers. A great read!

Life is a smile to face the reality that the future of watching over obstacles; life is with the heart of the scissors, cut out in the way of life leaves green branches; life, is the face of confusion or darkness, the soul ignite beans big smile was bright and light show.
