the Sell out spectrum

How I want to be sold..

sell me you first,

and then I'll buy what you're selling.

A product is only as good as the presenter.

A seller can only sell as much as he believes in what he's selling.

If you're selling for anything less than what you believe in, you're a sell out.

Vs., if you're selling what you entirely believe in, then your product will sell out.

Our product is only as great as us, and visa verse.

Earnest honesty translates into a reputation that resonates.

My Future Masterpiece

Someday, once I'm independently wealthy, I'll be able to unleash my independent creativity.

I'm not enough a gambling man to do it the other way around.

That's why I'll never be surprised if they don't talk about me when I'm gone.

No one says, "that man used such sound judgement to lead his quiet life.
What a hero there, taking care of his lawn, kids, and wife."

I don't care though, because heroism isn't the point.  It's not an achievable created position, if it is to be done right.

We don't do what we do for praise or ridicule, but ideally because it is what were meant to do.

And that is what heroes do, if they're a hero of mine.  And if you never hear of them or me, then don't mind that I don't mind.

Perfect Thanks

The last 2 emails I received were 1 word replies.  "perfect", and "thanks". 

2 separate conversations unintentionally combined; refreshingly pleasant in this coupon spam filled too easy day and age.

Perfect thanks.  I'll take it.

Tastes like Nostalgia

When I was a kid, I didn't really like jelly, so whenever I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich I would refer to it as a "PBJ, hold the J".  As my taste buds have gotten older, they have learned to enjoy the taste of jelly. 

I still usually only put peanut butter on my peanut butter sandwiches though, because even though I like jelly now, it still doesn't taste as good as nostalgia.
