Five of best Writing & Writers Advice Videos

Pooriast — Sat, 31 May 2014 13:42:35 +0000

A collection of five short videos presenting simply valuable advice for writing and writers

How to Tell if You’re a Writer?

For John Irving, the need for a daily ration of solitude was his strongest “pre-writing” moment as a child. So he discovered a difference, or a need to entertain!

Tom Perrotta debunks the maxim of always writing what you know

Anne Rice share some of her personal insights into writing.

What Do You Have To Sacrifice To Be a Writer?

Nothing, according to Mosley. He wakes up early every day so he can write before most people even read their morning paper.

Christopher Hitchens Advice for Writers

Every day, the New York Times carries a motto in a box on its front page. “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” it says. It’s been saying it for decades, day in and day out. I imagine most readers of the canonical sheet have long ceased to notice this bannered and flaunted symbol of its mental furniture. I myself check every day to make sure that the bright, smug, pompous, idiotic claim is still there. Then I check to make sure that it still irritates me. If I can still exclaim, under my breath, why do they insult me and what do they take me for and what the hell is it supposed to mean unless it’s as obviously complacent and conceited and censorious as it seems to be, then at least I know I still have a pulse. You may wish to choose a more rigorous mental workout but I credit this daily infusion of annoyance with extending my lifespan.

“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the ‘transcendent’ and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don’t be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”
— Christopher Hitchens

Pooriast — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 07:03:45 +0000

Blue Ocean Strategy ( BOS ) is one of the most interesting business & management strategies I’ve learnt so far.

It’s highly related on innovation and the spirit of Blue Ocean Strategy is very much similar and related to Entrepreneurship. Knowing BOS is indeed eye-opening for entrepreneurs.

What I have studied and figured out the benefits of “Four Exciting Technologies” in creating Blue Ocean Strategy; The techs are:

– Cloud Computing

– Big Data

– Open Source Software

– Social Media Applications

The Idea of Blue Ocean Strategy & the FOUR technology is freshly presented in a 30 minutes presentation and I’m pleased to share some of the slides with you via the following Slideshare link.
