I wonder how people 'happen' to come across each others blogs. Is there a Head Council which deems that these blogs are worth reading and the others are not? Or is it simply that someone likes a turn of phrase, an expression, a description which catches the eye and they keep coming back for more?

Seth Godin's blog is consistently interesting. And contradictory. Which is what most of us are. In one blog, he goes on to say that we should aim for the highest we can and we will end up there. In another he talks about the futility of 'benchmarking' - a state of being where you are perennially unsatisfied and then wonder why you are so stressed out.
