Brewed Fresh Daily
Anotated links from a Cleveland area obsessive coffee drinker, avid quotation collector, voracious internet content consumer, amatuer social network analyzer, and armchair economic developer. Recently referred to as a "web activist".11/20/2002
"No matter how much people bite at our ankles with all kinds of insensitivities or annoyances, it matters how skillful we are when we're interacting with them." "Browsing through new titles at Joseph-Beth yesterday, I was reminded of the Buddhist distinctions of seeing people as skillful or unskillful, in contrast to good or bad. It's not a bad practice whether we're practicing compassion with others ... or ourselves."He also has another post titled 'Celebrating Regional Assets' (a topic near and dear to my heart):
"Driving home from doing a conference keynote this afternoon, I spotted a Welcome to Ashland road sign: World Headquarters of Nice People." "And why not. If you're trying to promote your region and think people are an attractor, why not market that. Earlier this week, I had lunch with a woman from Nashville doing business in Cleveland amazed at how the (delightful) reality didn't at all fit her (low) expectation. Every region needs to do a better job marketing its unique value -- from both sides of attracting new talent and increasing the perceived value of the region by inhabitants. Why shouldn't we acknowledge appreciation for the good we have and are?"
