sophware: @cspenn Good stuff. Do you have a similar list of people you respect? That’s usually harder to make catchy, but would be great to see.

People whose records actually do speak for them.

People who accomplish real, tangible results.

People who happily say “I don’t know” and follow up with “but I bet I can find out.”

People who Google first, ask questions later.

People who embrace thankless tasks and prefer unsung hero status.

People who can find that artful balance of truth and conversational appeal so that their words are fully truthful, neither underestimated nor overexaggerated.

People who can teach effectively.

People who never stop learning.

  1. Nice. Always good to see a real positive message (and a few snide remarks within) directed at the social community.

    Your list is solid, like pretty much everything I've heard you say.

    The one with “balance of truth and conversational appeal” stood out to me. The shortcoming of some idealists and would-be innovators is the failure to appeal or even want to appeal.

    Wish me luck shooting for “unsung hero” while balancing it with reaching those I should be helping.
