Failing is Common, Trying is Rare

from Raptitude.com [alt+shift+b] in life

15th Jul 2026
When you die, you appear before a studio audience and they give you a standing ovation. The host then interviews you about your great successes and misses in life. One thing you realize, when they review the footage, is that you didn’t really try most of the time. You thought you...

Making it happen vs. Letting it happen

from Jason Fried [alt+shift+b] in life

14th Nov 2024
Make it happen! You hear it a lot. And it's generally good advice, of course. At least the 'happen' part. You definitely want things to happen. But often times, it's the 'make' part that gets confused for progress. You can push a ball uphill, but should you? Not only does it take...

I made a discovery as I sifted through the running data I have been collecting for the last nine years. After 897 runs and 4,659 miles I have gotten faster. How much faster? Well, for every mile I run I get 0.012 seconds faster. That's about as imperceptible as a fart.

Your Career Isn't a Meritocracy. It's a Trustocracy.

from Scarlet Ink [alt+shift+b] in life

8th Sep 2026
Trustocracy sounds funny, but it's a more accurate representation of how we're measured. We aren't (and can't) be measured objectively on what we accomplish at work. But we are (unavoidably) measured by the trust we've built with our co-workers.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
