“The context of digital has been woven into their daily lives. Kids don’t use the word “digital”; to them, a digital camera is just a camera. A digital book or ebook is just a book. “Can I borrow the digital camera?” has become “Can I borrow the camera?” Digital is disappearing.”

The Art of Being Remarkable – By Yann Girard

  • Do what you love; you’ll be better at it.
  • You should never ever believe me. Just try. And see.
  • There really is just one way to mastery. And it’s persistence.
  • You need to stop waiting for the time when everything works out just fine. This time will never come.
  • You’re unique.
  • If you’re trying to be perfect, you’ll be like everybody else out there.
  • Become a master at being yourself. And then build a monopoly around yourself. Create your own category. A category where nobody else fits in. That’s how you stand out. That’s how you become remarkable. That’s how to be yourself.
  • I, for myself, would rather not compete on a market with 7 billion competitors. I’d rather be myself, find my own niche, build a monopoly around myself, dominate it and then only compete with myself.
  • The easy stuff never really works, at least not in the long run.
  • There is no process one can extract and then apply to each and every person or situation. It doesn’t work that way.
  • The first and most important step on your path to finding your passion and uncovering your true self is to invest in yourself.
  • Helping people, whatever that might look like for you, is the way to really figure yourself out. Helping other people is actually the best way to help yourself.
  • Be honest. Always! No matter what.
  • There’s a fine line between following your passion and being remarkable. They are not the same. Being remarkable only starts at the intersection of doing what your passion is and what the world really wants and desperately needs.

Creative Experience – circular response

I never react to you but to you-plus-me; or to be more accurate, it is I-plus-you reacting to you-plus-me.

”I” can never influence ”you” because you have already influenced me; that is, in the very process of meeting, by the very process of meeting, we both become something different.

It begins even before we meet, in the anticipation of meeting…

Every movement we make is made up of a thousand reflex arcs and the organization of those arcs began before our birth.

Mary Parker Follett

If the price of giving everyone internet access is total domination by Facebook, it’s not worth it

John Naughton in The Guardian:

Some years ago, I had a conversation with a senior minister in which he revealed that he thought the web was the internet.

While I was still reeling from the shock of finding a powerful figure labouring under such a staggering misconception, I ran into Sir Tim Berners-Lee at a Royal Society symposium.

Over coffee, I told him about my conversation with the minister.

“It’s actually much worse than that,” he said, ruefully.

“Hundreds of millions of people now think that Facebook is the internet.”
