If there was such thing as a Marketing god..

... it would be Seth Godin.I swear this man speak nothing but the truth. And it's applicable in life, too!

If you've got talent, people want more of you. They ask you for this or that or the other thing. They ask nicely. They will benefit from the insight you can give them.

The choice: You can dissipate your gift by making the people with the loudest requests temporarily happy, or you can change the world by saying 'no' often.

You can say no with respect, you can say no promptly and you can say no with a lead to someone who might say yes. But just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.

Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.

I haven't blogged in days and it's mainly because I'm fast becoming a geek. A gambling geek that's what.

Me and my work friends recently joined a Scrabble tournament at work and supposedly, it was just for fun. Our competitive side, however, got the best of us and we're now faced with the challenge of competing in the finals. As a way of "practicing," we started playing during our yosi breaks, and during lunch [geeks!]. We weren't even contented with that, we started playing pustahan scrabble.

So far, I've lost half a dozen of San Mig Light cans to a friend. But I'm still getting addicted! I even come home in the morning these days because we spend nights playing. WTH is wrong with me?

After the scrabble tourney comes POKER. This seems even more addictive.
Stay tuned. :D
