What have you taken today?
Seth Godin has a great post up on Getting vs. Taking. Here’s a snippet:
A few people, not many, but a few, take. They take the best education they can get, pushing teachers for more, finding things to do, exploring non-defined niches. They take more courses than the minimum, they invent new projects and they show up with questions.
It is easy to go through life waiting for others to give us an education or a spot on the sports team. Many go through life talking about how others ruined their lives, made them miss their deadline, prevented them from succeeding. Life is certainly unfair. The question is, what are you going to do about it? We all have choices. We choose to be happy or sad, fulfilled or not. It is all about attitude and desire.
