Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • What would you say?

    On Triiibes the other day Chris Hopf from Pricingwire.com asked a really good question… “If you had only two sentences to share your most valuable business advice, what would those two sentences be ?” my answer: “Do well by doing good… it’s not about doing the thing right, it’s about doing the right thing“, keep…

  • It’s Evolution Baby

    Revolution vs Evolution? Revolutions stand out, they get noticed, people talk about them, (they’re remarkable so to speak), but not everyone wants to be part of a revolution, they’re dangerous, noisy, violent places, where people get hurt… the old guard want to keep things the way they were, they’re happy, they’re comfortable with what they…

  • A Balancing Act

    In a recent post on Triiibes someone wrote “You Suck” as the title then went into how you shouldn’t be complacent & that there’s always someone out there, bigger, better & faster than you. This may well be, but beating yourself up and thinking you’re a pile of crap, isn’t a good approach or that…

  • Welcome To The Party

    We all use social networks in different ways, some for work, some for play, some for play while at work!? No matter how you use them, you’re going to meet someone that uses the same network differently. The two networks getting most press coverage currently are Twitter & Facebook, both of which have very different…

  • You Looking For Trouble?

    Concentrate on the problem, not the solution, when you fully understand the problem, the solution will come.

  • All Those That Say Aye

    We’ve all been there, sitting in a meeting wondering “Why am I here exactly?” If you’re asking yourself, what’s the point of all this, what’s the outcome? Then your meeting will be a complete failure (for you at least), so stop now! Don’t confuse the purpose of an agenda, it isn’t there as a check…

  • Hey Jerrie (By Allee Willis)

    Yesterday Triiibes exploded, when 2,000 new members came knocking on the door, it’s been impossible to keep up or welcome all the new faces, who cover an incredibly broad range of people & talents. But there’s one that stood out from the crowd for me Allee Willis (& Wikipedia). You may not know the name,…

  • Standard Blog Icon

    As they say the great things about standards, is that there’s so many to choose from ; ) With the prevalence of blogging you’d think someone would have come up with a standard icon for blogs by now, well apparently not. A few months ago I was mulling over the idea that there isn’t a…
