I get food for thought from reading Seth Godin’s daily blog posts.
That’s why I share them. Hopefully, you’ll give a damn about enjoy read them, too.

Productive assets and useful flows
Hard choices today often lead to good outcomes later, and while today is real, we spend almost all of our lives living in later.
PS: And some of us are simply trying to survive the next few minutes.

Stories are a balm. And our brains are powerful, though not always (or even often) under our conscious control.
“It’s all in your head.” Where else would it be?
PS: Don’t I know it.

Just because someone interviews well, is friendly, or looks like you doesn’t mean that they can do the work that needs to be done.
Now that we can measure so many things, we might as well put that to use. Attitude and skill are useful proxies, while the easy-to-measure stuff is simply an expensive and hurtful distraction.
PS: I try to pay as little attention as possible to all this.

The route is a loop. No one is getting anywhere you’re not getting. They’re just leaving this place faster.
PS: Memento mori. Remember that you [have to] die.

Many companies believe they have a new product that will sell itself from the first day. But that’s unlikely.
We shouldn’t disrespect selling by pretending we don’t need it.

There! Seth said it. 🙂
