Next, Seth Godin shares a short but powerful post on mediocrity.

37 Signals shares “How playtime is responsible for Post-It Notes, Lasik and more”.

Lastly, I’ll leave you with a couple of videos:

1. Chris Guillibeau (from another one of my favorite blogs, The Art of Non-Conformity) is interviewed by Career Renegade Jonathan Fields.

2. A great talk from Gary Vaynerchuk

Enjoy!

Sunday Browsing: Underdogs, Motivational Misconceptions, and a Sneak Peak from StumbleUpon

As we move into summer it is a great time to work hard and move towards your goals.  Why?  Everyone else starts to rest, so if you work hard you’re moving past a lot of people.

Here are some great articles that I came across in the last week:

1. Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers (see my review here), has an excellent essay on how underdogs win.

2. Tim Ferris, author of The Four Hour Work Week, shares a great sneak peak at a new traffic creator service by StumbleUpon.

3. Bill Reichert writes about “Management Lessons from the US Navy

4. Tom Ziglar, son of Zig Ziglar, shares several “Motivational Misconceptions“.

5. Chris Brogan writes about the difference between creating an audience and creating community.

And finally, here’s a popular post from the archives to help you as you pursue your personal growth:

Sunday Browsing: Easter Edition

Hi everyone,

Happy Easter!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.  As a professor this is a busy time of year, and this year is likely the busiest I’ve ever had.  Larger class sizes and an overload contract means I’m spending all my free time marking.  I’ll move away from marking to share some of the favorite links I’ve found recently on the web.

1. Learn how to “Manage Email Like an Expert” at Dumb Little Man.

2. Scientific proof for something that you’ve likely always known: “Bad Bosses are Killers“.

3. Zen Habits shares about “How to Live a Life of Gratitude“.

4. Seth Godin shares a wonderful short post about goals.

5. Finally, get inspired with this passionate speech by Jimmy V:

Enjoy, and have a great day!
