strong and you love to help others. |
Truthfully, of all the super heros, I’ve always admired Batman. He doesn’t have any magical powers. Granted, being a gazillionaire doesn’t hurt, but he’s not an alien or a mutant of some kind.
UPDATE: I think everyone has the same heroes (including the women) on their list, just in different orders. The tool is pulling from a REALLY small pool of heroes. For instance, nobody is ever one of the X-men, OR one of the Fantastic Four, OR Martian Man-Hunter, OR the Green Arrow, etc. Also, Catwoman is incorrectly listed as a hero. Instead she is the only villain on the list, which seems kinda screwy to me.

Seth Godin:
Bottom line: growth, if it’s growth you’re after, doesn’t come from acting like you are already the dominant force in the market, able to deliver average products for average customers. Growth always comes from the edges.
Oswald Chambers:
Not every man can carry a full cup. Sudden elevation frequently leads to pride and a fall. The most exacting test of all is to survive prosperity.
I’m cursed. Or, at least my career track-record suggests that I am. Each time I’ve taken a new job, with one “sort of” exception, the individual immediately my senior is either fired or quits within 6 months. It’s definitely not intentional, but so far, it’s inevitable. In this two-part series, I’ll cover the details of the two (out of four) of the more interesting (at least to me) situations.

Hugh Macleod:
You cannot impose your own selfish values upon the blogosphere and still expect results. What you can do, however, is give a damn. It’s a surprisingly effective strategy.
Paul Graham:
The idea that you could make great things was not just a useful illusion. They were actually right. So the most important consequence of realizing there can be good art is that it frees artists to try to make it…[D]on’t believe it when they tell you this is a naive and outdated ambition. There is such a thing as good art, and if you try to make it, there are people who will notice.
Despite the Cluetrain having left the station eight years ago, some marketers and organizations continue to put far too much faith in the abilities of a company or product name to make or break an initiative.

Joel on Software:
When you are the founder of a company, you want to skimp on frills; they seem like a waste of money to you. That’s fine. But don’t think that candidates interviewing at your company will have the same emotional attachment; they won’t. They are looking for a nice place to work.
Pamela Slim:
You often claim to not know what you want to do, but in fact censor yourself from what you know you want for fear of appearing ridiculous.
Geek Marketing 101:
Successful technology marketing must translate the creations of the uncommunicative into the needs of the untechnical. Spin is not good marketing. Lucid two-way communication is.
the hughtrain:
It’s no longer just enough for people to believe that your product does what it says on the label. They want to believe in you and what you do. And they’ll go elsewhere if they don’t.
WARNING: A lot of good insight here, but it’s peppered with colorful language, so if that kind of thing bothers you, proceed at your own peril.
