Made to Stick Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die

Do you ever have the impression that no one takes your ideas seriously? Why is it so difficult to get our great ideas across while urban legends and conspiracy theories circulate so effortlessly? It turns out these ideas and stories — the ones that spread like wildfire — all share some identical common principles . That means we can learn and apply these principles to make our own ideas more appealing and successful. In this posting, Litemind reader Johan Dhaeseleer shares with us For all the talk about House Democrats heading towards big losses in 2010, there is a major reason a red wave is unlikely: The party won’t have that much to worry about in terms of congressional retirements. It might still be early in the cycle, but we can already say that their open seat headaches will look nothing like those that plagued the losing party of 1994, 2006 and 2008 - all cycles in which retirements were a huge factor. Needless to say, this will make it much harder for the GOP t

Made To Stick

En los últimos tres meses he leído la cantidad de libros que leí en tres años. Ya me aventé media bibliografía de Seth Godin —al que claro, le dedicaré un post—, un par de Kotler y otro par de autores que no conocía. Evité los reviews porque pensé que no les interesarían tanto, dado a que hablan de marketing. Y aunque mi idea primordial de tener un blog es además de compartir, crear una referencia de qué y cuándo vi o leí alguna cosa, me parecía que iba a inundar mucho este asunto.

Waiter Theres a Hair in my Satire

"Fashionable" hairstyles for women began their vertical climb in the late 1760s, and with them rose the ire of social critics. Editorials appearing in London periodicals immediately decried the large headdresses that English ladies were all too eager to copy from their French counterparts. Chronicling the rise and fall of the fashion takes us from the courts of France to the printshops of London and finally to the streets of Philadelphia in 1778, where all that the high roll represented in a neNow, if you're 'in business,' there is a good chance you've heard of the book "Made to Stick" from Chip and Dan Heath.

Thousands who arrived at Saturday’s 9/12 March on Washington. heard Pastor George Luca proclaim his pro-life message. A black evangelist from Virginia, Pastor Lucas condemned those who support “murdering innocent pre-born babies” I spent my days at UCLA reading business books in class and building organizations instead of doing homework.  I disliked academics and forcing myself to do homework or pay attention in class would only cause me frustration.   I found that I would constantly ask myself, “When will I ever use these things in the real world?” Is this you?  Are you thinking of dropping out of college to become the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates and build a multi-billion dollar empire?  I had those dreams as well,
