Comment Schmomment 2010-07-31

Welcome back to my Shop-Talk-Off-The-Clock Series Weekend Bender Edition of Comment Schmomment. It’s my take on blog posts that caught my attention recently. Enjoy this periodic un-comprehensive list of people I’m discovering and paying attention to.

Comment Schmomment is designed, specifically, for someone interested in perusing what I’m into. Surely, I can’t be the only one out there who is interested in what others have to say. ;)

Also, it’s a great way to re-purpose my obsessive compulsive habit of saving for the sake of saving my comments posted on others’ posts!

Have a look-see…

Derrick Daye’s Brand Messaging for a Strong Emotional Responseon BrandingStrategyInsider.com

This is one of the most interesting posts I have read in a while. Relevancy Drives Connection. True, true, true. It’s rare and insightful truth.

Siddhartha Herdegen’s Write, Talk, Think on PrinciplesOfFailure.blogspot.com

Once again, Siddhartha, you’ve written an exciting post. I like that you slipped some Robert Cialdini in there. He’s a favorite of mine.

Also, I especially liked your statements, “I think my writing should become outdated over time.” and “The world is ever-changing and our thoughts need to adapt as well. While there are many who value consistency, I would rather see growth.”

Harold Jarche’s Shape Patterns, Not Programs on Jarche.com

This post is perfect as written. Milan, we can not solve problems at the level they were created (Einstein paraphrase. No accuracy correction needed.) What I got from it is what I have been telling parents like me for several years even before I had children of our own. It’s not a child’s responsibility (parent criteria & “They are not little machines waiting to be directed by higher headquarters. “) to obey. It’s not even on their intellectual radar. So don’t work against the grain, go with it. Now, I can’t tell you the long term effects as I am not that wise in years, yet, but what I do know is a child is never too young or dumb to know what they want. Therefore utilize this. Find what they want and leverage it. It makes life for everyone so much easier and constructive. -Jade Handy
