When should you quit? And when should you stick?
This is the second book from Seth Godin that I read after The Meatball Sundae. This time it shared about whether we should quit or not. It’s great if we can become whoever we want, but to be the best at something, we need to quit something.

Big question, little book, answer within. That’s the subtitle of the book. It’s really a little book, not very thick, not even 100 pages. It’s a simple book but I enjoy reading it. The message is straight forward, clear and encouraging. That is to just become who you are.

The Meatball Sundae: something messy, disgusting and ineffective. It is the result of combining two perfectly good things that does not go together. Meatball represents the products and services that used to work successfully in the traditional media, such as TV and other mass market techniques. Sundae represents the social media, Web 2.0 services, which Seth puts as the new marketing. That involves websites, blog, YouTube, MySpace, many other popular and upcoming social media.

Do you need others to achieve your vision?
If your answer is NO, that means your vision is not big enough. If your answer is YES, that means you will need to have relationships with other people. Not only a common relationship, but a winning relationship. That is about how you can win with people.

Jack Welch, once the CEO of GE, sharing insights on winning in career and life. Many insights that he shared touched a lot on being a leader, top executive or manager. One of the core values that he shared often is candor and authenticity, he value those attributes very much in how he has managed GE into as successful as it is right now.

How to be successful, uniquely yours : Reason-4-Smile Weblog

[...] Covey also mentioned that there might be things that happen beyond our control, you have worked on the four cores of credibility, but… “still your business might fail, your spouse might walk out on you, your children might make bad choices, or you might have a tsunami or a Hurricane Katrina that wipes out your home and everything you have worked for.” Those are the times where you will need to depend on another definition of success; the success on defending your character and attitude. Will you still focus on doing the right thing? That reminded me of another point that John Maxwell has ever shared before on the reward of a man’s improvement. The highest reward for man’s improvement is not what he gets for it; it’s what he becomes as a result of it. Ask yourself why you are trying to improve. Is it to receive something for it? If so, that’s the wrong motive. Try to improve because it makes you a better person. ~John C. Maxwell (Be A People Person) [...]
