How to be remarkable
A remarkable person makes a big difference to the environment, the business bottom line, and other people. People recognize you. People see your work has great positive impact and significant to the business. Can you reach this state in 2007? Seth Godin wrote a great piece at The Guardian to help you grow. Take a look at couple of great highlights:
- Remarkability lies in the edges. The biggest, fastest, slowest, richest, easiest, most difficult. It doesn’t always matter which edge, more that you’re at (or beyond) the edge.
- Not everyone appreciates your efforts to be remarkable. In fact, most people don’t. So what? Most people are ostriches, heads in the sand, unable to help you anyway. Your goal isn’t to please everyone. Your goal is to please those that actually speak up, spread the word, buy new things or hire the talented.
- What’s fashionable soon becomes unfashionable. While you might be remarkable for a time, if you don’t reinvest and reinvent, you won’t be for long. Instead of resting on your laurels, you must commit to being remarkable again quite soon.

I think being remarkable is something everyone already is. Some people just manage to put it on display for all to see, while others keep their remarkability hidden deep inside themselves.

What crap.
I’m supposed to live my life measured by the quality of the gossip it generates?
Of all the ways to live ones life and all the ways to measure one’s worth, this one is a trap.
And that osterage quote is the worst. It’s good to measure the value of the people around in direct proportion of how much they can help you??
This isn’t a list of anything other than how to be an ass.
