Are you interesting? (by
Seth Godin)
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.

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
