Everyone has a style, everyone has a few talents, some knowledge and a personal collection of experiences that brought them certain wisdom, so everyone can be unique and help humanity solve a few of its infinite problems.

First, thanks for EA.com–it’s great, well run and incredibly useful.

My comment:

It seems like in order to make it in Web 2.0 you need to show your uniqueness–your humanity, your humor and/or your unique perspective. I figure the more I provide good information filtered through my unique perspective the more successful I will be.

I’m a firm believer that somewhere out there are enough people who want to hear what you say and how you say it, that will attract enough interest to sustain and grow your business (as big or little as you want). The beauty of the Internet is being able to reach all of them so cheaply!

Thanks, Chris, for the huge role EzineArticles has in that equation. :)

Peace,
Terri Z

Your words can do that for another person. Your words might just be the combination that helps it all fall right into place.

Oh..happy birthday Chris. Wanna share your cake with all of us?

Audrey :)

True writers can not stop the flow. They must share their knowledge. It’s like abundance, you give and your gift overflows.

Joy,
Jeanette

Perhaps I can share some virtual cake left over from last years party:

This post certainly spoke to me, as a copywriter!

I’ve often felt the same way, with my blogs and articles … what more could I say that hasn’t already been said!

But, as you’ve reminded me, each of us has a completely unique perspective and totally different experiences in our given field of endeavor.

Viewed through our own unique/special lens, we ALL have something valuable to say about most anything, don’t we?

Thanks again,

Look at some of the world’s most successful speakers. They’re not getting rich talking about radically new concepts. They’re sharing and interpreting their view of age-old universal concepts.

We can all apply the same principles in our own businesses.

Zenfully yours,

Lori

We love you, Article Man.

:D

By the way, I failed to login using the same login email to recover the password. The page says, that email doesn’t exist although I am still receiving the newsletter through it.

All I did was ask for cake….you however thanked the right person for bringing Chris to us.

Audrey :)

The email list server is separate from our member database… and a month ago we just started the two separate versions of our newsletter to segment our members from our prospective new members.

We’ll add one more step into the process this month to get them closer in sync before each new mailing.

Only now I noticed your cake.

All the best!

And A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Chris. This is a very auspicious day. Diwali day in India–the festival of lights. Diwali is perhaps the biggest festival covering all of India. Celebrations are still roaring on.

I wish Chris and all writers of Ezine A HAPPY DIWALI.

Thanks,
Zac

Happy B’Day, my man! I hope you have such a great day, cuz you sure have earned it with what you provide for us here on EZA.

Now on to today’s post:

Just about every day I hear one of my students, members, or mentees say “But there are so many people in my niche!”

My answer is always the same:

“There are more people out there waiting to hear your message, who can only hear it in your unique voice, than you can ever get to in your lifetime.”

In honor of your birthday Chris, I’d like to offer you and every one on the blog a free mini-poster with that quote by going to www.TheArticleGuy.com/quote.pdf

Catch you soon!

Scorpio and Business:

Scorpios make excellent doctors, surgeons, scientists and leaders, they are perfectly suited to any form of business that makes a difference in the world, greatly impacts people and society and a most importantly, Scorpio has to be in a power position, this is why these careers are suited to the Scorpio, they all demand one person in supreme control giving orders and leading a unit of people/practices.

In business, Scorpios tend to easily gather wealth, they make very wise business decisions and they are very conservative about spending their money.

Scorpios are known for making money and hiding it, they will not announce it due to to fear that others will take the same route and becoming a possible competitor, or worse try to use the Scorpio to their advantage to use them for their money.

What a terrible piece, Chris. (just kidding, of course… or was I?) Please say Hi to your cat for me.

Jeff Dobkin

PS - Was that cake half eaten or half full.

Have a great celebration! Edward beat me to it on pointing out your Scorpio-ness. But I can add…we still don’t know the sign of your Moon or your rising sign. Hmmm. Want to share that, Chris?

Nancy

I could not agree more. Indeed, it is important to celebrate our uniqueness. No one sees the world exactly the same because of our thought forms, height, environment, location in each moment and whether are eyes are open or closed. Whether we are listening, or truly listening. We’re affected by our emotions, they’re continually changing. That has an impact on how we experience life and the stories we share.

Today my emotions are challenged. I’m staying calm in the eye of my storm because I know that it shall come to pass.

Thanks for your optimistic outlook and the work you are doing.

Sending my best,
Joanna Garzilli

I totally agree with Chris in
that we all have a unique
side in each and everyone
of us.

That is what makes the world
a nice place to live in.

Everyone with different opinions
helps improve things.

Happy writing and hope to
see more and more unique
content.

“Yes, I know its a pain
sometimes to do hours
of research, but its all
well worth it when your
article gets picked up
by respectable publishers”

Cheers,
Vern

Having signed up I have not yet submitted an article though I have written a few.

I keep telling myself that there is a little more research needed to confirm as fact some of the points made.

Then I look again and think maybe that is just a rant and no one else will find any value in it.

Truth is, and I think I’ve just confirmed it with what I have written, it’s a lack of self confidence thats holding me back.

Your words however have hardened my resolve to get started, so watch this space.

Besides, its shape is not so well designed. If this was the whole cake, it would have the shape of the roasting dish.

But I appreciate the leftovers, especially since some New York eatery is now has a dessert that costs $25,000 ouch!

http://www.semissourian.com/story/1290071.html

I hope Chris and his team faxes me some of that year-old cake, because although FREE is a four letter word it is my favorite price and it sure beats $25K.

The paper plates in last year’s cake gave me an idea, if I may tell you another joke for geniuses: you can fly paper plates, the same way you fly paper planes. You can pretend the paper plates are flying discs! (Only geniuses laugh with these jokes…)

However, one of the reasons why I participate of this blog is because I like the discussions here and because they are funny sometimes. This is light, while I usually am solving serious problems, helping desperate people, in heavy discussions and thoughts. It’s good to change mood and talk about something pleasant here!

I know that nobody evaluates life like I do, with the knowledge I have. This is why I’m like Sherlock Holmes and I could discover the mystery behind last year’s birthday cake.

Dream analysis helps everyone start paying attention to all details of reality. This is how I started learning how to discover the truth by observing several irrelevant details everywhere.
Detectives do exactly the same when they try to discover the hidden truth.

In the future MIT kitchen plates will be made of flexible carbon nano tube construction with a graphene coating and they will be very thin and very sturdy. The plate could be a cup, a paper airplane and/or a shape shifting serving tray for a cake. It means it can stack easier on the kitchen shelv or the kids can make their very own UFO to fly through the yard.

http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/mits-kitchen-of-the-future/

These might be made of high-tech polymers, or material memory plastics, perhaps they will look and fill like paper. They will clean easier, take up less space and sanitize themselves after washing and dry themselves off too. GE is working on this technology, and there was even a Discovery Channel episode on these future kitchens and plates. It makes lot of sense for EzineArticles’s employee’s cafeteria.

How do you find time to look for all the information you keep giving here?
I’m learning a lot with you!

Now, about the cake, our main sub-subject, under “No one can evaluate life like you do”, I have to say that I simply love chocolate!

Comparing this subject to diseases and problems, I still think that this is a very light subject.
Its consequences may be heavy, if the observer will pass from the stage of mere observation to the stage where he or she will take action and start devouring the observed object.

I’m curious… Where is this year’s birthday cake?

http://www.carwashguys.com/0021803_2.shtml

But, when you mentioned the subject, I remember a few articles I already wrote about it and the references so I simply typed into the search engine; “MIT future kitchen shape shifting plates”

And I found the link and posted it, Piece of Cake!

Now then their is new technology using Titanium Dioxide that allows for self-cleaning windows, counter tops and kitchens, like silver it prevents the spead of germs, bacteria, viruses and diseases. If you look up the University of Pittsburgh you will find more about this, also PPG company, there were huges article on it in American Window Cleaner, Coating World and American Restaurant News. Anyway, I think I have articles on all this stuff already, for instance:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Self-Cleaning-Counters-is-a-Smart-Way-to-Prevent-Diseases-in-QSRs&id=25196

Regarding this year’s cake? It was so good, everyone ate it so fast no one took a digital picture of it in time, well that is the simplest explanation, Elementary my Dear Occams.

Never mind about the cake. For me here in Greece it would be only a picture…

Have a nice week!

You could not be more correct. Everybody has his or her own uniqueness which makes each person special. We are all experts in our own unique ways. Hopefully, we are all making individual contribution to improve the world. Good luck Chris and God bless you.

THANK YOU.

Angela.

It’s true that we don’t allow descriptive names for the author name because we feel it means you’re not being genuine.

If your legal name is “Biz Zy”, then please prove it and we may reconsider…

Also, please use the forums or private emails with us for issues like this — as your blog comment today is off topic.

Biz Zy is really a very interesting name! It seems that you were trying to say that you are “Busy”.
Forgive my intromission, but I believe that even if this is your real name, Biz, you better have a different pen name to avoid being misunderstood, unless it helps you in your business.

Sorry for our let response. But we are so busy. We have not so mutch time. But your Cake look fantastic. Happy birthday and we wish all the best.

Advertisers say we need to see a message at least 7 times before we will take action on it, perhaps it is the same in any genre. Perhaps it’s even more than that!

Let’s get back to work!

Live Your Dreams,

It would be really good if this system of self-cleaning would work and could be used everywhere!

Sometimes evalutating “Life” requires looking at the very small things too, so that the details do not throw a wrench in your complex systems. Evaluation of such should be an on-going process, to work towards that unattainable perfection that is sought.
