Beach Reading
Monday, August 7th, 2006Last weekend at the beach, here in sunny and hot and lovely Portugal (August is great in Lisbon), I read three Change This Manifestos, among other not as interesting articles. These were:
- Never the Same: How to Create Transformational Experiences, by Charles Halton
- Web 2.0: Strategies and Lessons for Business Leaders, by Troy Angrignon
- Polkas, Pyrotechnics and Point D’s: Pieces and parts of Seth Godin’s new book, small is the new big
ah… also did some croswords.
Belief
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006People don’t believe what you tell them.
They rarely believe what you show them.
They often believe what their friends tell them.
They always believe what they tell themselves.
