David Mann Puns

Does anyone know of an instance where Mann and Mamet have worked together? It would seem like a perfect fit ; two Chicago guys obsessed with crime, specific dialogue, and masculinity.

I've always heard Heat referenced when discussing Heist and Ronin feels very Mann'ish to me.

Edit: I had my collection of David Mann centerfolds go through a flood 2 years ago, they are in a binder but I am wondering if there is a way to get them unstuck from the clear sleeves they are in.

It’s not about you is small engaging business parable that emphasis the power of giving, thinking in terms of what we can offer rather than what’s in it for me.

Story revolves around Senior Manager Ben representing a big firm, which is in process of taking over well-known company. Ben is responsible for convincing the board and employees of the company to be taken over to vote for it.

In the process of understanding their history, how they conduct business and meeting key people, he consults with his friend Claire, where he ends up with meeting Claire’s Aunt in the same meeting they engaged in interesting dialogue about merger.

Few 🔑 Points –

• What you must give, you offer least of all through what you say; in greater part through what you do; but in greatest part through who you are.

• It’s easy to inspire and motivate people—for the moment. It’s easy to say, ‘Hold a vision’. Anyone can come up with a vision. The hard part is the holding.

• Keep seeing in your mind’s eye where it is you’re going, even when nobody else does. Especially when nobody else does.

• If you had all the information, there’d be nothing to it. But sometimes you must decide, even when you don’t have all the information.

Few 📌 Quotes –

1. Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.

2. If you want to be hugely successful, you must stay hugely humble.

3. Self-respect is where every other kind of respect comes from. Respect from others is a reflection, not the source.

4. You can lead only as far as you grow. And you will grow only as far as you let yourself.

In corporate world, where being Go- Getter is highly appreciated, and considered as key factor in one’s success, The Go- Giver claims otherwise and puts the power of giving to the core of success.

The Go – Giver is short tale of young man, who learns the unbelievable yet simple rule of success. The Power of Giving. Putting other’s interest above his own, continually adding value to their life, which ultimately bring enormous success to himself over time.

The young man while lacking behind his targets get introduced to highly successful man, who in turn introduces him to couple of his associates and each share with him one law of success.

Few 🔑 Points –

• The Law of Value - Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

• Good Motto to live by – Survive, Save and Serve – Survive—to meet your basic living needs. Save—to go beyond your basic needs and expand your life. And serve—to make a contribution to the world around you.

• The Law of Influence - Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.

• No matter what your training, no matter what your skills, no matter what area you ‘re in, you are your most important commodity. The most valuable gift you have to offer, is you.

Few 📌Quotes –

1. Giving is not a debt we owe but, instead, it is a seed we sow.
2. Ultimately, the world treats you more or less the way you expect to be treated.
3. All things being equal, people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like and trust.

Hey there,

I thought I'd share my favorite David Allen interview, since its probably somewhat obscure at this point, dating back to 2007. Back when I first got interested in personal productivity I became aware of Merlin Mann, who was, at the time, running a site called 43 Folders dedicated to personal productivity. Mann was a fan of GTD and the interview is pretty fun. I think Merlin's wry, energic demeanor brings out a side of David we might not often see in more recent interviews. Enjoy!

The coward gave a literal fuck you to the citizens of Cincinnati today. After ending the public budget hearing early because the citizens boo’d a racist bigot that spoke, David Mann slammed his gavel ending the promised meeting and snuck out the backdoor, while a few council members remained.

This shows that they really don’t give a shit about what the people are saying. Vote them out.
