Thinking Thursday: Heady Links
I’m not going to do a whole bunch of links, as these handful are somewhat lengthy, but all well worth the read.
“How to Be Successful, Uniquely Yours”
Robert of Reason4Smile.com clearly spent some time putting this post together. It’s a great post and definitely worth reading.
“Winning Attitude Comes From Within”
Bobby of Revellian.com posted this one the other day. It’s an excellent read on how our success is tied to our attitude, and not other things that seem like they may be the reason.
“Why There Aren’t More Googles”
An interesting article on why there aren’t many new Googles (not necessarily in the search marketplace either) in the world.
“The Hypocrisy of Alcohol Versus Drugs”
Bobby also had this thought-provoking piece yesterday. (Guys, don’t stop at the photo. Keep reading…) It’s always something I’ve been curious about since high school. Doesn’t make sense that some drugs are okay and others are considered bad, when the “okay” drugs are often seen doing more damage (and causing injury and death) than some of the bad drugs. For the record, I certainly don’t advocate drug use and I’ve never used any. And, I’ve only had two drinks since turning 21. And the second one was because the glass was free if you took the drink, so how could I turn down a bargain? I always liked Thoreau’s (or was it Emerson’s?) statement that the “drug” of choice for the writer should be water, as creative types shouldn’t desire to have their minds altered.
“27 Thoughts on Blogging for the Artist”
How about that for a segue? Anyway, Problogger.net had this great piece on artist’s blogs. But, much of the advice is applicable to any type of blogger. We probably shouldn’t spend more time surfing than creating (whether it’s art or our next blog post!).
So, there you go. Have a mind-expanding experience reading these excellent posts!
Thank you so much for the link love, Dan!
Some tips, I checked through your StumbleUpon… looks like you’re stumbling few sites only. I know someone that is banned by SU bcoz stumbling the same site too often.
You may consider stumbling more varied sites. I believe all the other links that you share must be worth stumbling as well.

Holy cow, thanks so much Dan! It’s an honor to be mentioned here - this really made my day! I will definitely check out your other links here:)
I liked the Why Aren’t There More Googles article, but I’m not sure all the math works out. I’m not sure that I’d ever say, “If you’re investing at a tenth the valuation, you only have to be a tenth as sure.” If you’re investing in 10 things at a tenth of the valuation each, you may not have to be quite as sure, but I don’t see it as being perfectly proportional.
