Develop an Eternal Passion
My name is Steven M. Manin. Most people would likely agree that I知 a fairly accomplished individual. I知 an over-educated
entrepreneur and filmmaker with a pretty impressive track record of success. I was the guy who created 天oice Personal" [ads]
in the early 1990痴. Then I started making comic documentary films, a couple of which were picked up by HBO. Then I started
a restaurant that was just named one of the top 10 eateries in Rockland County, NY.

It recently occurred to me that, though I have an MBA and have succeeded in a bunch of entrepreneurial ventures,
the mastery of the New York Times crossword is, arguably, my one true skill. I知 not a doctor, lawyer, accountant, electrician
or plumber. But, after solving the puzzle daily for 30 years, I can safely say that I am skilled at The Times crossword.
This is not to suggest that I am the world痴 most skilled puzzler. I am not, though I知 certainly in the 99th percentile.
However, what I can do that the superior 1% cannot, is pass my expertise on to others in a clear, systematic and FUN way.
