The Dormouse

Do you remember what the dormouse said?  If ever there was an anthem to inspire learning...

Not sure about you, but I have an insatiable desire to learn, to learn selective stuff.  For me it's stuff that pertains to the connected generation, Purple Cow marketing, business change, design as it applies to Dan Pink's Conceptual Age, innovation and, in general, what inspires people to be passionate about their work. 

One thing that seems to spur activity on author's posts is specific factual information.  Info that can help people right away.  43 Folders, Slacker Manager and Greg's Business Performance Coaching come to mind.  Posts based on author's opinions seem to generate less activity. 

In order to be in a position to generate such prolific stuff as these folks, one must listen to Grace, one must listen to the dormouse...

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"
