#SETHGODIN : REVENGE ISN'T SWEET
The always wise Seth Godin says you should stop trying to teach people a lesson: "What you're actually doing is diverting yourself from your path as well as ruining your day in a quixotic quest for fairness, fairness you're unlikely to find... The real tragedy of the person who dumps on you is that you pay twice. The second time is when you get bent out of shape trying to get even."
@FASTCODESIGN : IMPROVING BY SIMPLIFYING
Irene Etzkorn writes at Co.DESIGN: "There’s a tendency to think of innovation as coming up with the latest gadget or adding new features onto existing ones. But the concept of breakthrough simplicity recognizes that today, the most powerful innovations don’t manifest themselves as new bells and whistles. They take the form of better customer experiences (or patient experiences, or citizen experiences). And one of the best ways to improve any experience is to simplify it--to remove complications, unnecessary layers, hassles, or distractions, while focusing on the essence of what people want and need in that particular situation."
@VISUALLY : WHAT YOUR PROFILE PIC SAYS ABOUT YOU
You could say that, thanks to Facebook and Instagram, selfie pics are officially out of control. I have some social media friends that post nothing but themselves with the same expression and different background. It's about as interesting as Kristen Stewart's many moods. This all raises an interesting question: what does your online profile photo say about the kind of person you are? It's not pretty.
