Sign o the times

For the first time ever, online media consumption is bigger than TV consumption —

Just passing through (by Seth Godin)

Just passing through

Older guy walks into the service area on the parkway and asks one of the staff, "do you have a pay phone? My car broke down and I need to call my daughter."

The staff person, killing time by checking his cell phone, is confused. He's not sure what a pay phone is, then he figures it out, and says, "no," before going back to his phone.
It never occurs to him to hand the phone to the man so he can make a call.
Part of it is the boss's fault. He's not paying much attention to hiring or training or incentives. He's paying as little as he can, and turnover is high. After all, every one of his customers is just passing through, no need to care.

And that message comes through to the staff, loud and clear.

Of course, at one level, all of us are just passing through.

From a more practical, business level, the ease of digital connection means that it's more and more
unlikely that you can be uncaring or mistreat people and not be noticed.

But most of all, life is better when we act like we might see someone again soon, isn't it?

Recentemente encontro-me à espera de um amigo que foi pagar uns cafés e ele diz-me: a moças que iam à na fila, quando pagaram, viram um anúncio da época "há bolo rei". Como a pastelaria tem bons bolos, perguntaram ao caixa...tem bolo rei? resposta rápida e seca...isso é lá com o balcão...eles é que sabem... as moças saíram disparadas do café...talvez fossem comprar amêndoas da páscoa ...
Basicamente o que se retira é que uma resposta desajustada, pouco preparada, pode estragar ou estraga o trabalho de toda a cadeia que está atrás.

As moças devem ter ficado com pouca vontade de voltar..........

Are you interesting? (by Seth Godin)


Are you interesting? (by Seth Godin)


More interesting than you realize.

An interesting person is interesting to us because she combines two things: Truth and surprise.

The truth: Not necessarily a law of physics, not necessarily a measurable truth in nature, but merely the truth of experience. "I believe this," or "I see that."

And surprise. Note that surprise is always local. Surprising to me, the audience. That's one reason that it's said that interesting people are interested—they are empathetic enough to realize about what might be surprising to the person in the room, and they care enough to deliver on that insight.

Everyone is capable of telling the truth. And everyone has been surprising at least once.

Which means that being an interesting person is a choice. We can choose to show up, to care enough to contribute our humanity to the next interaction.

It's a choice, but a difficult one, because being interesting feels risky. People are afraid to be interesting, not unable to be interesting.

You're not born uninteresting. But it's entirely possible you've persuaded yourself to be so frightened of the consequences that you no longer have the passion, the generosity or the guts to be interesting any longer.

Without a doubt, we need your interesting.



By me 

The same applies to contents. Content sources that do not pass the idea of being true, soon cease to be seen. Content sources that do not surprise or did not update quickly cease to be seen.

Good contents are the soul of success .....


Good CONTENT make people CONTENTE
