Reality Check
In a Mormon Times article BYU professor Daniel C. Peterson said that he:
“finds it difficult to believe that individuals who spend their time in air-conditioned offices staring at computer screens have a better grasp of reality than those who spent their days laboring on farms.”
That one sentance better conveys what I tried to say in a whole blog entry.

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is about being an artist. Whether you're a painter or an accountant you can bring unique talents to the job and become indispensable, a linchpin. I've been reading Seth's daily blog for a long time, but I'm embarrassed to say this was my first time reading one of his books. It was eye opening. This reviewer summed it up nicely: "Too many people accept a day's pay for a day's work. They clock in, do their work like automatons, and clock out. Most businesses never tap the creativity or passion that people have, and most people believe that stuff belongs at home, or in the gym, the lodge, the classroom or the garage, rather than in the cubicle. The truly indispensable people are ones who bring all that passion and energy to work, and deliver incredible experiences for their partners, customers and compatriots. I think many people are unsatisfied at work because they aren't willing to tap into their real energy and passion, and don't believe that that work would be rewarded and valued. In a time when everything can be outsourced, only commitment, passion, creativity and engagement will be differentiators." --http://innovateonpurpose.blogspot.com/2010/01/book-review-linchpin.html View all my reviews >>
