I usually don’t like to cross-promote my blogs, but this time I posted something on Insanely Interested that I thought would be interesting to the audience of this blog as well.
Hop over to Insanely Interested to read the story of how someone “borrowed” my personal brand to land a freelance writing gig — as me!

In my series of small thoughts about business, goals and life, here are a few lines on failure.
When I look back to the goals I have set myself during the life time of this blog, I quickly notice that many of them haven’t happened as planned. But there is a funny thing I’ve noticed: I haven’t failed — my goals are just taking longer to achieve than I thought at first.

There are days when I think life would be so much easier if I just gave up on my most ambitious goals and gave up to the normal way of life. I could sleep longer in the morning, I would be less stressed out, and in the short term, I would have more free time.

Just a bit over a year ago, Glen Allsopp was an 18-year old guy from England, working in a job he hated, doing college courses that bored him to death, and running his own business part-time. In my books, that’s already quite an achievement for someone that young.
But it wasn’t enough for Glen, who wanted to plug into his real identity and live his life to the max. So, he took a job in South Africa, left his old life behind and moved to a whole new country far away from everything he knew.

Right after posting my previous batch of insanely interesting links, I found out that Glen Allsop had founded his blog. Because he’s a great guy, I promised that in my next update, I would link to him.
Well, it wasn’t really because of that. Sure, he is a great guy, but his blog also speaks for itself. His posts truly deserve every promotion they get. Well, now it’s the time for that update.

I want this blog to be a place where we help each other understand the world and how we fit in it. Not just a place where I broadcast my ideas to the world.
That’s why today, I have a task for you: I’d love to hear you define what “Insanely Interested in Everything” means to you.

“There are 10 kinds of people: those who know binary and those who don’t.”
This popular geek joke tells a lot about us and how we like to classify things into neat boxes with descriptive labels on them. How we put socks in one drawer, pants in another one, and then struggle with the question of where stockings should go.

One of the great misconceptions about notebooks is that they are only useful for writing things down.
Sure, most of the time, when you write something, you want to keep it, and remember it later. But not always. There are times when an eraser is your best friend and it makes sense to leave your ballpoint at home.

Now that July is gone, and I’m no longer on my summer holiday, I thought it would be nice to share some great links from friends and colleagues around the world. Here at Jarkko Laine dot com the past month was slower than usual, but don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.
It’s time to get back to business.
