I love Seth Godin

“How come some people can visit a place like New York and see a thousand amazing things, take hundreds of great photos (like Thomas Hawk) or even write a novel… and other people visit, eat at Applebee’s and send home a John Lennon postcard? It’s not where you go, it’s what you look for.” - Seth Godin

I just snagged this quote from an AdAge interview with Seth Godin about what inspires him for his daily blog posts.  I must admit, I don’t think there’s a ton of insight in the article, but it does show Godin’s genius, as always.  His amazing ability to look at things in a new light and to simplify virtually anything down to a simple anecdote amazes me.  I read his blog regularly and as I’m staring to get more into blogging myself, I hope that I can learn from his style and success.  And what I love even more, is that despite it being a “marketing” blog, I think anyone can and should learn from it.  It’s not just a bunch of industry jargon and psedo-relevant insights, it’s just good thinking, expressed brilliantly.
