How to be remarkable
Seth Godin has written a great article about how to be remarkable.
The first thing he says is:
“Understand the urgency of the situation. Half-measures simply won’t do. The only way to grow is to abandon your strategy of doing what you did yesterday, but better. Commit.”
And he finishes by saying:
“And when? When should you start being remarkable? How’s this: if you don’t start tomorrow, you’re not really serious. Tomorrow night by midnight or don’t bother. You’re too talented to sit around waiting for the perfect moment. Go start.”
I found the list rather interesting!

A very very good article. Although I reckon most companies would prefer their subordinates to “just do their jobs.”
I think we did a remarkable thing at Yahoo! =)

Now that its happened, I think I should add a note here. Seth’s article went a long way to convincing me to take the plunge and quit my job at Yahoo! to try my hand at a startup. If he didn’t put a timeline on when to go for it, I perhaps never would have. So, thanks Seth!
