Seth Godin is a teacher and bestselling author who blogs on marketing, tribes and respect. Unlike those you’ll find here on More to Come, Godin’s posts are short. Very short. And to the point.

A recent one entitled When the Sun is Shining reminded me of rural landscapes I’ve seen in my travels as well as why I love the pithy proverb. You can’t get any better than the old chestnut Godin bases his thoughts on in this short entry.

Here is the blog post, in its entirety:

Our job as professionals is to show up and do the work. Not simply respond to incoming or do the chores, but to create and innovate.

And yet, some days feel more conducive than others. There are moments when it simply flows.

When the surf’s up, cancel everything else. Don’t waste it.

Postpone the dentist, outsource the grocery shopping and leave your email for now.

Make hay.

Indeed!

More to come…

NOTE: Because the sun is shining this month (you’ll see more in the coming days) I’m going to make some hay while I set aside the Saturday Soundtrack posts during July. That feature will return in August.
