You'll want to share this

We'd like to think we've got a lot of content worth passing along.

And we launched White House Shareables as a central place for some of our favorite infographics, GIFs, and explainer videos that highlight President Obama's policies in a way that's interesting and easy to understand. It's for things that, we're betting, you'll like enough to pass on.

As President Obama focuses on the importance of raising the minimum wage, check out this infographic that shows how it will impact women. See it and share it (along with all of our best content) on WhiteHouse.gov/Shareables.

What the President Said in Michigan Yesterday

Yesterday, President Obama traveled to the University of Michigan -- where he highlighted a local deli that rewards hard work with decent wages, and spoke in Ann Arbor on the importance of raising the national minimum wage:

Nobody who works full-time should be raising their family in poverty, right? If you're working, if you're responsible, you should be able to pay the rent, pay the bills. But... all across the country, you can work full-time on the minimum wage and still be in poverty.

Seth's Blog : Kanri Yakyu

Kanri Yakyu

Literally, "controlled baseball."

If you're playing this way, it's by the numbers. The manager tells you precisely what to do, and you do it. There are algorithms for when to bunt, for when to throw a ball. And there is no room for surprise. It is ground out (not a pun), controlled and predictable.

Kanri yakyu will often get you into the playoffs. It rarely means you're going to win the big games, though.

The secret is being able to play this way when you need to, but being brave enough to leap when it's least expected. Just like your career.
