I don't know what i want to do, but i do know what i don't want to do.

That is still considered progress.

What a beautifully shot video, what a way to start my day..

One of my favorite songs from John and an awesome trailer for his winter tour.

A great article forwarded by a friend. The article is from entrepreneur.com and can read fully here.

On the best advise he ever got:

Three gems come to mind. First, an enduring one from my mother, Eve, who always taught me never to look back in regret but to move on to the next thing. The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project always amazes me. I have had fun running all of the Virgin businesses, so I never see a setback as a bad experience; it is just a learning curve.

My mother also told me not to openly criticize other people. If she heard me speaking ill of someone, she would make me stand in front of the mirror for five minutes and stare at myself. Her reasoning? All my critical talk was a poor reflection on my own character.

Very good short read.

I've just finished a good and relative short read called Rework by Jason Fried. It has definitely given me a lot of different perspectives on work, generating ideas and motivation. This particular chapter at the end of the book is my personal favorite. 

We all have ideas. Ideas are immortal. They last forever.

What doesn't last forever is inspiration. Inspiration is like fresh fruit or milk: It has an expiration date.

If you want to do something, you've got to do it now. You can't put it on a shelf and wait two months to get around to it. You can't just say you'll do it later. Later, you won't be pumped up about it anymore.

If you're inspired on a friday, swear off the weekend and dive into the project. When you're high on inspiration, you can get two weeks of work done in twenty-four hours. Inspiration is a time machine in that way.

Inspiration is a magical thing, a productivity multiplier, a motivator. But it won't wait for you. Inspiration is a now thing. If it grabs you, grab it right back and put it to work.

Rework can be purchased from amazon.
