Dustin Wax

Why do I love to blog? Why is it the most important business and social networking task I perform daily? Here is a perfect example of 6 degrees of separation. An Italian blogger in Torino, Italy, who subscribes to deansguide because he thinks we may be related (joke), sent me a link to his bookmark (digg) "10 Skills of Life You Need To Succeed at Almost Anything." The original blogger? The mighty and powerful lifehack's Dustin Wax.

A big thank you goes to my "friend" from Italy who found me on my blog directory Mybloglog. The other big thank you goes to Dustin for compiling a great list; I am proud to say that #1, #2, #4, #5, #8 have been constant themes I write about here on AR: Public Speaking, Writing, Networking, Critical Thinking, and Research

Here are Dustin's list and my list. What would your 10 Skills list include?

10 Comments on Torino, Italy to San Francisco, California via LifeHack's Dustin Wax: Blogging Brings Instant Information And Recognition

good stuff...this is the type of post that really makes you think.

Team "D", I try not to take myself too seriously but this entire experience was really another example of the "connectivity" of this new world we are just scratching the surface upon. Having somebody 6,000 miles away tap me on the shoulder to point out someone here in my backyard (Dustin) is both interesting and exciting.

Thank you for commenting. Give us your list if you have a moment?

Dean - Good list. You forgot -- picking a good spouse or significant other. You mess up in that arena and it can tank everything else. However, that probably fits under "Critical thinking." But when did critical thinking ever come into play in that arena?

Kev, the good spouse deal would fall under decision making, financial planning, or possibly brainstorming depending upon your viewpoint. I am not touching the critical thinking shot--thanks for coming by today!

Dean - LOL - Let me recover -- "Love is blind and can surpass logic and reason." Hummm, am I doing any better?  :)

07/31/2008 05:36 PM by Kevin McGourty - Moving Help - nationwide (MovingHelp.com)

Kev, Love is not only blind but it can be deaf and dumb too! Trust me I have been hit by all three. Thanks for your never ending support!

Dean, I was going to compliment you on this blog, but now...

I have to compliment you on the comments too!

Mirela, You are so good to me! Are you my Italian cousin from the south of South Carolina? I appreciate your kindness and support. I am not too big a guy to admit I have been hit by the dummie stick, a loss of hearing, and a few momentary lapses of judgement in my time. It makes life worth living!

Best wishes!

Humility denotes a BIG MAN! 

The taming of the ego is a worthy pursuit and one that can only be embraced by open minds and open hearts...

08/01/2008 09:18 PM by Mirela Monte, Your Myrtle Beach Connection

Mirela, your wonderful sensibility shines through although I have to still stick to my premise--I been stupid before and paid the price. But I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you you are a doll!
