TOTD – 200 MPH

Posted on July 14, 2011 by hydle

“The coffee mug is full, it’s 10:30 pm, but it feels like 10:30 am. You are experiencing the rush of being “in flow”.

You’re furiously typing your ‘big idea’, and you know the hair-brained scheme you just dreamt up is going to be a winner. A big winner.

You’re at 200 MPH, and you just know you can push the needle further.

You do.”

I’m doing this right now… only still adventuring at the same time. Look for a Kickstarter Blackbox release tomorrow. Thanks for defining how my brain works Hugh MacLeod.

Hugh MacLeod – Complete Agreement

Posted on May 17, 2011 by hydle

There are a couple reasons why I have never applied myself in the corporate world. This is one of them…

“Back in my early corporate days, this came as quite a shock to me: that people sitting around the table didn’t always say what they were REALLY thinking! Shock! Horror!

But why would anyone lie? Aren’t we all meant to be on the same team?

But after a while, you get used to it. After a while, it’s normal. After a while, you learn to laugh at it.

And that’s when the cartoon appears…”

Interestingly enough… you can apply this concept directly to relationships too.
Thanks Hugh.

TOTD – Internet Famous

Posted on May 13, 2011 by hydle

“I have a lot of friends that you could describe as “Internet Famous”. One of the advantages of being an early-adaptor blogger is seeing the careers of some your friends from the early days take of. Sometimes, seeing them take of to the sky, it seems.

Whereas you, well, you’re just the same. Still stuck in the same ol’ same ol’.

Unlike your now-famous rockstar friends. Or whatever.

All is vanity.”

TOTD – Rock Stars!

Posted on May 7, 2011 by hydle

Straight from Hugh…

“To paraphrase Graham Weston, the Chairman of one my clients, Rackspace, “Everybody wants to play on a winning team, doing something that matters.”

In other words, everybody wants to be a rock star, doing rock star stuff with other rock star people.

So I drew a rock star cartoon on the subject.

And so there y’are…”

Whose winning team are you playing on?

LISTEN

We often forget who we are.
We often forget what is really important.
We often forget who’s really important.
We are so easily distracted.
We forget how to listen.
We forget.

Such an amazing reminder to us all… Thanks Hugh.

TOTD – Burden

Posted on February 24, 2011 by hydle

“It nags, it controls your dreams. You feel the irrational pull. You know you must do it, even though everybody thinks you’re crazy. That is the burden.”

The Only One

Posted on February 18, 2011 by hydle

“Being the only one isn’t as hard as you might think. It’s not about having a skill that no one else has, it’s about standing out from similarly situated people or businesses.”

Thanks

TOTD – Life Without Love

Posted on February 13, 2011 by hydle

“This is really about ‘making-up’. When you are just at the edge of the ‘it’s too hard’ precipice, look down and think about life without love.

It’s easy to be cynical about love. But when loves leaves your life, you realize that everything is better with it. The Friendship, Partnership, Warmth, Connectedness, Support – it all makes life just a bit more worth living.

Don’t be cynical, don’t be flippant, try your heart out, you don’t have to settle – strong back, open heart – it’s worth it.”

TOTD – Adventure to Adventure

Posted on August 17, 2010 by hydle

“Wanting adventure, being able to have adventures, being able to see life as an adventure, is not luck. It’s a choice.
And the ones who fail to make that choice; invariably make something else instead: Excuses.”
