Uuuurgh agreed wholeheartedly Wendy. hail to those who manage to make it through the managers with their spirit still ablaze.

Squelching soulfire is part of the curriculum for the socially acceptable I hear, and there are those for whom zombifying has been sytematitised into a science.
All the more reason to raise the alarm and get the live ones out while they still have the discomfort of feeling like *something’s missing* before all their character and courage puddles out of their soles.

Sadly those with opinions and characters are often not appreciated by managers who prefer the dull-witted ass kissers, sycophantic line towers and fellow club members ;)
Very inspiring article!

Max,

I just discovered your blog through MyBlogLog. Very nice idea. Here is a good example of how a very distinctive character wins in Life. A person who you can see in his face is happy doing what he loves. Happy New Year.

Abhilash! so delighted to have discovered your site ..
Thank you indeed, coming from a man who’s been through Life Lessons 302 I think you know the invaluable treasure it is to be able to learn quickly from what life throws our way.
Wild success coupled with an intimate understanding of your own mortality I believe installs little apps that lend humour and humilty to our passion and drive.

Lifelong learning is my passion: because I believe being clear kills fear and opens up realms of possiblity unimagined through the fear filter.

Rock on Cali surferboy that you are sure to be now after the intro in Oz :-D

Indeed! Solid post, Max. Innovation |= Creativity. Creativity does NOT scale, for which reason the good ones are able to operate (& sell) at a premium.

What part does humility play in this act of character? Passion does carry with it humility (hopefully), but it doesn’t do so overtly. This is Jim Collins’ “step 5 leader”–the one who is humble enough to foster a learning process across the board.

If we’re able to learn together, we can create together, don’t you think??

Can’t wait to read more of this more regularly, Max!
