A perusing reader is no better than an accidental reader. An article that provides worthwhile advice is no more valuable than one instantly forgotten. So long as the page loads and the ads are seen, both sides are fulfilling their purpose. A click is a click.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["clicks","journalism","marketing","media","pr","public-relations"],"id":12272,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"What is known can't jerk us around unwittingly. Before anything can be resolved, the implicit must be made into the explicit.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["awareness","explicit","implicit","resolution"],"id":20566,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"I have a pet goat.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["goat "],"id":41285,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"The question to ask, when you feel pride, then, is this: What am I missing right now that a more humble person might see? What am I avoiding, or running from, with my bluster, franticness, and embellishments? It is far better to ask and answer these questions now, with the stakes still low, than it will be later.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["ego","humility"],"id":49243,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"You’re not as good as you think. You don’t have it all figured out. Stay focused. Do better.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["ego"],"id":52476,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"You cannot have your news instantly and have it done well. You cannot have your news reduced to 140 characters or less without losing large parts of it. You cannot manipulate the news but not expect it to be manipulated against you. You cannot have your news for free; you can only obscure the costs. If as a culture we can learn this lesson, and if we can learn to love the hard work, we will save ourselves much trouble and collateral damage. We must remember: There is no easy way.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["hard-work","news","news-value","price"],"id":73232,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"It doesn't make you a bad person to want to be remembered. To want to make it to the top. To provide for yourself and your family. After all, that's all part of the allure. There is a balance. Soccer coach Tony Adams expresses it well. Play for the name on the front of the jersey, he says, and they'll remember the name on the back.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["ego","humility","team-spirit","teamwork"],"id":74510,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"Publicity does not come easily, profits do not come easily, and knowledge does not come easily.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["cost","easily","easy","free","nothing-is-free"],"id":81498,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"If it comes as a constant surprise each and every time something unexpected occurs, you're not only going to be miserable whenever you attempt something big, you're going to have a much harder time accepting it and moving on to attempts two, three, and four.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["time","surprise","moving "],"id":83342,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"},{"text":"Blogs are assailed on all sides, by the crushing economics of the business, dishonest sources, inhuman deadlines, pageview quotas, inaccurate information, greedy publishers, poor training, the demands of the audience, and so much more. These incentives are real, whether you're at The Huffington Post or some tiny blog. Taken individually, the resulting output is obvious: bad stories, incomplete stories, wrong stories, unimportant stories.","author":"Ryan Holiday","tags":["blogs","journalism","reporting"],"id":86918,"author_id":"Ryan+Holiday"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":28,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
