Like many, I am very inspired by Kathy Sierra’s work in which she tries to figure out how to make her customers kick ass. I find that this focus on kicking ass is quite useful when trying to figure out whether to do something or not. If that something helps me kick ass (as a friend, relative, business person, etc), then I should do it. If not, I should not.
Everybody has a different set of criteria as to what kicking ass might be. Maybe it means being ethical, maybe it means being healthy, maybe it means trading your time for something that is really worthwhile. Whatever your criteria, I wish you the best in your ass kicking adventures.
(note: this was created using ArtRage, a wonderful program that Roy Blumenthal recommended to me. I feel like it’s going to help me kick some ass out there)
