The Only Way is the Wrong Way

Am I the only one who parsed that URL as "wait errant"?

I really liked this, so much so I wrote up a post on the topic , check it out if your interested: http://www.promoterforce.com/blog/2007/05/16/comparing-yourself-is-failure-your-path-is-your-path/

now back to creating something people want

Great quote:

"If everyone tried following their bliss everyone would be trying to get to the same place at the same time. It'd be a fucking traffic jam. But since no one likes going into the negative there's more room for opportunity - less competition, less traffic."

I am currently reading "The fates of nations". The resonance with this story is very strong. Perhaps that's just a testament to how good a book it is.

I loved the article, but I also came across a gem of a quote in the comments ( http://waiterrant.net/?p=450#comment-323693 ):

Security to me seems like another name for a slow death, where every opportunity for greatness is ignored for fear's sake.

Respect for the courage conveyed in the article.

this post reads like a parable, not a transcript of an actual conversation. it's cleverly crafted to appeal to anyone who 1) is not extremely wealthy and 2) has the ability to procreate.

it makes us feel better about who we already are. so maybe not parable, but movie script
