Hughisms are Great.

I love it when a student says to me, “that isn’t professional”! What is professional? I think professional is code for normal and normal is what? Status quo! I have said it before and will say it again, we need to teach our youth to embrace but explore ideas. Normal is a receipt for failure or [...]

Everyone needs a little Hugh.

It isn’t just what you say it is how you say it!

Turning Points in Life are important

Why do it? My students have been asking me this question more and more lately. My response is always the same, “do I seem unhappy?” Of course the response is a very hearty NO. But my students are looking at the content I am teaching and wondering why I am not doing, my thing, in [...]

Good point.

Control is a word that we use a lot. And I am sure there is a point where we need to be ‘in control’ although it would seem that the idea does get taken to the extreme. I am sure we can come up with a list of scenarios that make us say, control is [...]

Ideas…

You can always depend on Hugh of GapingVoid to throw a little cuby bomb your way! As he said following the cartoon… Risk Offense Not much happens when you’re trying to make everyone happy, as Lenin is often credited with saying: “If you want to make an omelet, must be willing to break a few [...]

We are all creating human expression!

There are a lot of people talking and most of the time the stuff they are saying is pretty useless, sorry but it is true. One of my favorite cartoonists, bloggers, internet marketers, general smartie pants is Hugh MacLeod. You get a good feel for what Hugh is all about from his blog Gapingvoid, a [...]

Action Part 2…

Hugh MacLeod And what Godin writes MacLeod draws!

A Conversation with Hugh MacLeod!

Listen and learn from Hugh MacLeod! I have been following Hugh MacLeod on his blog www.gapingvoid.com for some time. Hugh is one of those rare people who has sat back, looked at what he is doing, what he is good at, what he is not good at, and made the choice to follow his heart. [...]
