Saturday Fun Links
Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: StephenPSmith.com
Some just-for-fun links from Stumble Upon:
- Lies people tell you about pursuing your dreams
- Bugroff - An Antisocial Networking Site
- Ridley Scott - the Wired Interview
- Spam Radio
- A Moleskine hack - the Wallet
- Hurricane Isabel
- 7 habits of Highly Ineffective People - less fun, more serious, still worth reading!
Let me expand a bit on the last link, as number five is excellent:
5. Seeing the negative and downsides in just about anything.
When you see everything from a negative perspective you quickly punch a hole in your own motivation. You find faults everywhere and problems where there are really none. You cling to details. If you want to find a reason to not do something then that’s no problem. From a negative viewpoint you can find ten reasons every time.
Read the whole thing. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!

7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People is eye opening - especially the link to Taking the Positivity Challenge. We should all learn something from this. This being said, there is something to seeing the negative and downside to issues/projects. If we aren’t aware of the possible pitfalls, we can’t plan for them so some of that perspective is useful - just not all of the time.
