In an effort to have a "regular feature," something I've found helps bring consistency to a blog, I'm sharing a series of items that I keep on a bulletin board in front of my elliptical trainer. They're not exactly the usual inspirational saws, but they keep me going, at least on the rare occasions that I actually use the elliptical.
This one comes from Internet pioneer and entrepreneur Mitch Ratcliffe. It was in a blog post he wrote around the time I was putting together the early drafts of our business plan. It is my favorite quote on the wall, even though it often makes me a little uncomfortable:
Beware rebels bearing manifestoes and the sleek taboos of trendsetters. Eat the dead, if their bodies aren't too putrid, to learn from the lessons coursing through their veins. Start no religions except those you are willing to mock mercilessly. Trust experience without regard to the grammars available from local professional societies. Live and let live, else you will find yourself roasting on the spit of your own dogma. Create to be free, consume to die to yourself.
