More From Seth Godin

Sometimes you have to gag on fancy before you can appreciate plain, th' way i see it. for too many years, i ate fancy, i dressed fancy, i talked fancy. a while back, i decided to start talkin' th' way i was raised t' talk, and for th' first time in forty years, i can understand what i'm sayin'.

He doesn't have demons. he's not batman, he doesn't struggle with inner turmoil. the nature of this character is that he puts himself last and helps the common good. so he could easily slip into a world of boredom, the blessing and curse of captain america is that he doesn't have that fancy an ability. he doesn't live in another world, or turn green. he doesn't have bells and whistles, he doesn't shoot missiles. he punches and kicks.

Dharma bums refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that cramp they didn't really want anyway such as refrigerators, tv sets, cars, at least new fancy cars, certain hair oils and deodorants and general junk you finally always see a week later in the garbage anyway, all of them imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume.

I take pens and i write on the inside of my arm. when i'm with people and somebody says a really fascinating anecdote, or fact, or phrase, i'll write it on the inside of my arm. at the end of the day, i'll take the very best things that are on my arm and i'll copy them into a notebook that i always carry and only when the weather is absolutely terrible will i really key the very best of that notebook into the computer. at that point, it's all sort of censored twice - only the best things go from the arm to the book and only the best things go from the book to the computer.

My inspiration comes from everywhere, just walking down the street and i never know where it's going to come from, so i keep a notebook with me at all times and the only criteria for anything making it into that notebook is if it stops me in my tracks for even an instant, if it catches my eye or my ear and i just write it down.
Notebook Inspiration Writing
When traveling, i usually keep a notebook: when home at my desk, the notebook serves mainly to remind me how little i saw at the time, or rather how i was noticing the wrong things. but the notes do spur memories, and it's the memories i trust. the wine stain on the page may tell me more than the words there, which usually strike me as hopelessly inadequate.

The nature of the labyrinth, i scribbled into my spiral notebook, and the way out of it. this teacher rocked. i hated discussion classes. i hated talking, and i hated listening to everyone else stumble on their words and try to phrase things in the vaguest possible way so they wouldn't sound dumb, and i hated how it was all just a game of trying to figure out what the teacher wanted to hear and then saying it. i'm in class, so teach me.
Notebook Teacher Talking
I have lots of notebooks around, because one great advantage of writing by hand-in addition to how much it slows you down-is that it makes me write at the speed that i feel i should be composing, rather than faster than i can think, which is what happens to me on any keyboard.
