More Thoughts From Reading Seth Godin’s Blog

Here are some more thoughts I had as I read Seth Godin’s blog. Just random thoughts/musings/ponderings.

About “Seeing the continuum”

Success isn’t achieving what other people want. It’s about deciding what you want and doing the hard work it takes to achieve it.

Everyone has a purpose. Find yours and act accordingly.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “First come, first served”

“First come, first served” is an easy way to pick winners of contests and give away other things of value.

It doesn’t necessarily make sense on the Internet, where responses are time-shifted, allowing asynchronous transactions.

But it’s the easiest one to automate. And we get to pay the consequences of that.

Here’s a link to the source.

PS: Seth, who told you life was fair? 🙂 And who isn’t lazy?

About “Predictability”

“Principles truly matter in the moments when it’s really difficult to stick with them.”

I couldn’t have said it better.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “When did you decide?”

Every habit involves a decision. You can change your decisions and, if you do it enough times, you’ll develop a new habit.

Rinse and repeat.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “The two mistakes around competition”

Never assume, because when you assume, you make an ass of u and me.

Here’s a link to the source.

About “Tasks or initiatives?”

There will always be people willing to do tasks, i.e., boring but necessary work, and then there are people who are willing to take the initiative when it comes to life and engage in bolder forms of commerce.

Figure out who you are and act accordingly.

PS: Seth, your Yahoo reference actually made me laugh out loud. Really!

Here’s a link to the source.

PS: The best short speech about focus I’ve seen lately. “Focus is about saying no.”

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
