An end of books – Seth Godin

An end of books

“Books, those bound paper documents, are part of an ecosystem, one that was perfect, and one that is dying, quickly.

“THE BOOKSTORE as we know it is doomed,…..The death of the bookstore is being caused by the migration to ebooks (it won’t take all books to become ‘e’, just enough to tip the scale) as well as the superior alternative of purchase and selection of books online.

Any single change happening in the world of “read-books” may not “kill a venerable information delivery and cultural touchstone like the book. But all of them together? “

“I called this post, “An end” as opposed to “the end.” As always, we’ll reinvent. We still need ideas, and ideas need containers. We’ve developed more and more ways for those ideas to travel and to have impact, and now it’s up to us to figure out how to build an ecosystem around them.”

“Too often, we overlook the value of imagination and dreams and the _____. fill in the blank and we can prove we did a good job.” is gauntlet the author has thrown to all of us.

If you choose attitude, as is indicated by Shri Tanmay Vora, in his blog-post “the  Attitude of Quality”, then ‘people [and their attitude] are at the core of excellence.’

I would put my bet on Commitment [or Determination] of Action. A dream not supported by a determined action, arising from a dogged commitment remains a dream only, and not the reality of success.
