My viral resume #Superman

1. RESUME OF A
SUPERMAN

2. for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every
morning and asked myself:
IF TODAY WERE THE LAST DAY
OF MY LIFE,
WOULD I WANT TO DO WHAT I
AM ABOUT TO DO TODAY?
and whenever the answer has been “no” for too many
days in a row, i know i need to change something.
(Steve Jobs)

3. point of no return
TIME FOR A
CHANGE.
I NEED PASSION.

4. "HOW WAS YOUR DAY?"
is a question that matters a lot
more than it seems.

18. If you're remarkable, then it's likely that some people won't like you.
That's part of the definition of remarkable. Nobody gets unanimous praise
-- ever.
The best the timid can hope for is to be unnoticed. Criticism comes to those
who stand out. playing it safe. Following the rules. They seem like the best
ways to avoid failure.
Alas, that pattern is awfully dangerous.
The current marketing "rules" will
ultimately lead to failure. In a crowded
marketplace, fitting in is failing. In a
busy marketplace, not standing out is
the same as being invisible.
Seth Godin

In this presentation I have used a number of photos where
I have not been able to determine the actual owner.
Honor and respect to these unknown photographers for their
awesome work. By using these images, I might very well
have F*cked up and broken a few copyright laws.
But sincerely I do not want The FBI or Hells Angels to show up
at my house. If I have messed up your life by using your
photo, let me know. Respect.
