« YouTube | Main | Note about network neutrality » When everything happens at once...!I haven't been blogging as much at Weblogsky, and that's partly because I was distracted by my involvement in a couple of conferences, and partly because I've been posting more at WorldChanging.com and at Polycot's blog. At Polycot I'd been like a shoeless cobbler's child; we were so busy doing actual work that it took us forever to build a web site with our own framework/CMS, and that was finally completed a few weeks ago. We integrated WordPress, and I'm blogging Polycot-relevant posts there (i.e. posts about web technology, user experience, social technology, ecommerce, web site development. etc.). Also hope to blog more at Smart Mobs, a site that's more relevant than ever now that the combined technical and social changes Howard was writing about in his great book. Sorting out time and projects so that everything's done, and done well, is always a challenge. I just read a quote from the always wise, always eloquent Dalai Lama that's relevant: Before we do anything, we should always ask ourselves whether we will be able to do it properly and complete it. If the answer is no, we should not start. Leaving tasks uncompleted creates a habit for the future. So once we have begun something, we should be sure not to go back on our decision. Self-confidence is not to be confused with pride. Pride is thinking highly of oneself without good reason. Self-confidence is knowing that one has the ability to do something properly and being determined not to give up. Ordinary beings are prepared to make a good deal of effort for relatively insignificant ends. We have promised to work for the immensely more important goal of liberating all beings, so we should cultivate great self-confidence, thinking, Even if I am the only one to do so, I will benefit all beings. --The Dalai Lama, A Flash of Lightning in the Dark of Night jon posted this at 8:37 AM |
