Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Occasionally, we walk somewhere and we see the sign, “Reserved for so-and-so“.
Usually, reserved parking spaces are for those individuals who’ve contributed something really important.
In a world full of alpha-dogs, what does it take to earn a reserved parking space?
And, perhaps more importantly, what will it take to keep it?
Met with a social media director of a large company recently yesterday.
He’s pushing 30.
I’m enjoying my 50’s.
He has a personal blog, and writes in it occasionally.
I write five daily blogs. Everyday.
He was curious what inspired me.
I mean, seriously, who writes five different ones, everyday?
Nobody.
So I told him.
He gets it now.
What about you?
No, really, what about you?
Heard this phrase last week for the first time.
Apparently, it’s a common term.
It’s mostly self explanatory.
Are you creating a buzz?
What is buzz-worthy is today’s economic environment?
And finally, is it worth the effort, because the reality is, everybody wants to be buzz-worthy?
Oh, did I mention that Saturday marked my 2,000th blog post?
Do great work and Carpe diem!
Most of you know I love social media and actively (meaning daily) use the big guns – LinkedIn, Twitter, You Tube, Blogs, Facebook, etc.
LinkedIn has many uses besides posting a plain vanilla resume. It can be used as a micro-blog platform too.
Well, yesterday I received a LinkedIn reply from someone who’s parents instilled in them, as young children, to read a book a week.
Reading a book a month separates casual readers from serious readers.
Reading a book a week separates the serious readers from the world-class readers.
World-class, of course, is in a class by itself.
I know this from personal experience, but not in the category labeled reading.
If you read this blog’s comments, you’ll know that we have recently come to the finish line with our MBA discussion.
An MBA by itself is worthless.
The effort to successfully receive it, priceless.
But overwhelmingly, it’s the unrealistic expectations people have about what an MBA delivers that are dangerous.
Mike Reardon and Bob Stewart shared another insight in their comments – the degree doesn’t catapult your career, but it does serve as an indicator for a person’s determination and drive.
And there is no denying that an MBA is a life-changing challenge and major accomplishment.
Now, just wanted to go on the record: Blogging is overrated.
