More From Seth Godin

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.
Get Well Writing Making Friends
When the u.s. asks for the extradition of a terrorist, if turkey doesn't have that individual on the terror list, what do we say, what do we respond? now, the individual might not be on your terror list or terrorist list. but if he is on my list, and if we have an agreement on the extradition of criminals, if i make the request, then, well, you should extradite that person. and there has been numerous examples of that mechanism working with many other nations as well, not just the u.s.

Who would you be without the thought "i need more money to be safe?" you might be a lot easier to be with. you might even begin to notice the laws of generosity, the laws of letting money go out fearlessly and come back fearlessly. you don't ever need more money than you have.

Political writing in our time consists almost entirely of prefabricated phrases bolted together like the pieces of a child's meccano set. it is the unavoidable result of self-censorship. to write in plain, vigorous language one has to think fearlessly, and if one thinks fearlessly one cannot be politically orthodox.

But what will happen even if we do burn down the jews synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise god, to pray, to teach, to utter god's name? they will still keep doing it in secret. if we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly. for our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before god.

Throughout our history, there has been a long list of those we've been conditioned to hate. the british, french, spanish, germans, japanese, russians, communists, northern koreans, vietnamese, iranians, taliban, and both northerners and southerners in america are some of the people we've been encouraged at various times to call enemies and to hate. the list is long, and as time passes, those we were assigned to hate we later were told should be removed from our hate list. the enemy is obviously hatred itself. have empathy for your assigned enemy.
