.think .differently

Without context this is stupid. With context, it’s .brilliant

.think .differently

That simple two-word image says everything.

It preaches what it practices.

Who puts a period before a word?

Why would a person do this?

It’s .stupid

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

The goal of being different comes with the risk of being misunderstood.

Popular metrics don’t work for the majority

Baltimore Hotel on raining morning
Yesterday near sunrise.
College President
College President yesterday welcoming 120 prospective students (and 12 incoming freshman) and roughly 150 parents.

Reminded our Son yesterday that his early decision and acceptance (and incredible merit-based scholarship) in December puts him in a group of less than 10-percent of decisive and less-stressed students (and parents).

We (society) often use popular metrics.

Some High School students never make it in the top 10% of any “normal” and popular metric. This has the potential cumulative effect of inhibiting or eroding self-confidence.

The metric here (this post) is not one that gets talked about, unless you live with me.

Instilling self-confidence should be a top parental priority.

No Disney Keynote Speaker videos of Disney Institute speaker jeff noel.

So this has always been an issue.

i like not doing what everyone does.

The downside is that most don’t get it, and worse, most don’t like it.

The pressure to conform is why everyone does it.

So when i talk to organizations and leaders about taking risks, i believe it’s a great strategy to only preach what i practice.

Ordered and paid for Titan last night

Seth Godin's new book Titan
Weighs over 17 pounds, 800+ pages. Expensive. Worth it?

 

Preordered Titan months ago. Ordered and paid for it last night before bed.

You can read a brief summary here.

Worth it!

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
