soupornuts’ reasons to click - #1
September 30, 2007 – 4:39 pmAs en entrepreneur, bolgger, motivator, pseudo-computer geek and all-around curious guy, I am always “on the click”. I search, research, read skim, click, go back , scan scour, and devour a vast amount of material in both the blogosphere and the “huge” database that we call the web.
This is my initial offering of “reasons to click”, which will be a series of posts that highlight web sites, blogs, articles/posts and videos that I’ve come across and consider to be “click worthy”. Take a look and give me your opinion.
1. The suicide of someone that you know is shocking.
It rocks you to your core. What could I have done? Why didn’t I see it? What should I have done? These questions and many more will confront you as you try to understand.
Tina Fukuchi at Public Spark posted a great article – Why do people commit suicide – that addresses some of theses questions. This is definitely an article that everyone needs to read.
2. Are you looking for help with your blog?
Have you ever seen a really cool blog or web site and thought, “I’d like to try that on my site”, but didn’t know how to start. I had this problem recently – How do you put all those links at the end of each post without having to key them in every time?
Fortunately, or by the Law of Attraction, its the same thing to me, I came across Average Joe Blogger. Nathan Snipes has some great articles about blogging and how to make your blog better. How to manually add Social Book marking links provided me with the raw information and a detailed map of how to do what I’d been trying to do for some time. Thanks Nathan.
3. A couple of new blogs.
Developing a new blog is hard work, especially if you have no idea where to start or how to start. It’s a lot more than just writing articles/posts. There’s the admin, finding ideas, theme development, building a readership as well as defining your writing persona.
Eric Sanders recently did a couple of guest posts on a blog that I co-author called My-Tool Talks. Eric has exceptional writing skills and having been bitten by the “self-expression” bug, has started a blog called Brainwavers.
It’s still developing (in fact, as I went over there just now, I could see that he was having trouble with his theme – but his text was still there and that’s the important part). Eric has the skills to create something special, given a little time and encouragement. Check out Brainwavers.
Brad Baggett has a new blog going a Juice of Champions. Brad is a connector. He is one of those people who “knows people”. In my endeavors to spread the word about the Rotater, Brad has put me in touch with a bunch of people who can help me that I could never have met without him. Thanks for your help Brad. Give him a click, you won’t be disappointed.
4. The Desiderata series.
Bob Clubbs at every, every minute has rounded up a number of the bloggers from Priscilla Palmers’ List of Personal Development Blogs to participate in the dissection of the Desiderata.
The Desiderata, a poem by Max Ehrmann, is quite thought provoking. Bob has asked for bloggers to volunteer to take one of the verses and expound upon it. My contribution to the cause will be posted on October 2.
Take the time to see how different minds look at the thought-provoking work.
5. A free online money management tool.
Take a look at this free money management software and see if it can help you get a grasp of your finances. Peruse Mint’s testimonials.
6. A couple of inspiring videos.
I originally posted an article about Nick Vujicic in an article entitled “Video of an incredible person doing normal things”. Please visit Adam Khoo’s site and see the video for yourself.
Adversity University is an inspiring blog that has recently come to my attention. Not only is the blog inspiring for what it has to say, but the author, Stephen Hopson, leads an inspiring life. Take a look at this video and you’ll feel the power of this motivational speaker.
Okay, this is the first installment of “soupornuts’ reasons to click”. If you have any sites or blogs that you would like to add to the list, then post them in the comments. Let me know what you think. – Chris

Chris:
Imagine my surprise when I checked the RSS Feed to your site to find a link to the YouTube video of the impact my fifth grade teacher made on my life and how it planted a seed in my mind to achieve my dreams. Thanks for sharing that with your readers - I really appreciate it.
And then there’s the other YouTube video on Adam Khoo’s website about Nick Vujicic of Melbourne, Australia. There’s a young guy here in America who also has no arms and legs who was a wrestler in high school. Yes, it’s true. I’m trying to remember his name - he was on all the top rated talk shows for a while, including Oprah. Kyle was his name. Kyle Maynard, that’s it. Ever heard of him? Pretty cool guy. He even modeled for one of the top designers. Awesome people.
Thank you for sharing those links with your readers!
