“Own your dreams. There is no better way to make them happen.”
Future of Cramming for Test
What’s the point of testing someone’s ability to cram for a test if we’re never going to have to cram for anything ever again? If I can find the answer in three seconds online, the skill of memorizing a fact for twelve hours (and then forgetting it) is not only useless, it’s insane.

Current Thought: Do I See This?
This morning I read a post by Seth Godin that starts something like this:
[three particular jobs or industries] are largely about pattern matching. Something happens, something else happens and it’s the beginning of a trend.
The questions that popped in my head:
- Do I see trends before others?
- Do you see me as someone who can see patterns & trends early on?
Morning Listening 2011-09-12
Just finished up listening to the Copyblogger podcast – Internet Radio for Smart People, episode 25 with Seth Godin.
It is really good & I highly recommend it for you, well if you want to survive in the future or want to change your world, no matter if you define world as the whole world or just your life.
There are all kinds of topics I took notes on during the first listen from scarsity, value, influance, and a great explanation of manafestos.
