Little Red Riding Hood

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Little Red Riding Hood is skipping thru the forest road when she sees

The big bad wolf crouched down behind a log.

‘My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf.’

The wolf jumps up and runs away.

Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again

And this time he is crouched behind a bush.

‘My what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf.’

Again the wolf jumps up and runs away.

About 1/4 mile down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf

Again and this time he is crouched down behind a rock.

‘My what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf.’

With that the wolf jumps up and screams, ‘Will you knock it off,

I’m trying to poop!’

Facing Resistance

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Dear Reader,

“There’s a myth that all you need to do is outline your vision and prove it’s right – then, quite suddenly, people will line up and support you.

“In fact, the opposite is true. Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance. And when you start to make progress, your efforts are met with even more resistance. Products, services, career paths … whatever it is, the forces for mediocrity will align to stop you, forgiving no errors and never backing down until it’s over.

“If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it’s unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.”

Seth Godin
