Topic: Be Great to Discover Your Greatest Thing: poems a week. It wasn’t long and I was hooked. And thus, my passion for writing was re-kindled and my fascination with blogging began, and has since never subsided. Some years ago, I watched a video of Seth Godin and Tom Peters discussing blogging at an American Express annual meeting. Tom Peters made the statement that in the last last fifteen years, blogging had been the single greatest thing he had done for his career. At that time, I had been writing daily for only three months but I had to whole-heartedly agree with him – though my fixation with blogging was still so new. When Jason Davis, aka Slouch, asked me to contribute in some way to RecruitingBlogs a few years ago, I was excited by the opportunity and after a weekend of brainstorming, I sent him the outline for Bonus Track. The discipline that writing daily brought to my life and work changed my life and my work. After two and a half years, I can honestly say that writing so often and so intensely has completely changed my life, my work – has changed me. For almost four years, the RecruitingBlogs community has inspired me in my work, taught me about the industry, and produced my greatest friends and mentors. When I have had the opportunity to present about blogging at a public event, I have suggested that everyone should write, as often as possible or, as many writers will share, when you have something to write about. Everyone should write, everyone. I have also stated that not everyone should publish and not everything should be published. I have many posts sitting in draft form, waiting to be tweaked or trashed. And there are many more where they came from. Great adventures, interesting travels, horrible interviews, brilliant partnerships, nightmarish candidates, resentful applicants who didn’t get the job, unresponsive hiring managers, fantastic new hires, conniving split partners, pristine recruitments, happy clients – all stories waiting to happen or blog posts in the hopper. You may have heard me say this before and it continues to hold true. I write because I have to. It is no longer a matter of the project I need to complete or a stringent goal. It is part of who I am. And the who I am changes daily. I am incredibly honored and thankful to be a part of this community, my "online work home". Sometimes, change is necessary and as Noel and Tim pick up where Slouch left off, changes will occur. One of the greatest lessons I have learned from social media is how to be flexible, how to adapt quickly and how to take it in stride. These are necessary and admirable traits in business today. Garner these, provide a quality service or superior product, and stay true to who you are. The greatest things you can do for your career are many. Pick one, master it – be great at it, that’s how it becomes a greatest thing. by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 12:54am on July 29, 2011

Topic: OT - Sally Ride, First US Woman in Space, Dies at 61: 12 after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 61. (AP Photo/NASA, File) "sometimes the best man for the job is a woman." President Ronald Reagan - commenting on Sally Ride being the First Female Astronaut. By Seth Borenstein and Alicia Chang AP Science Writers / July 23, 2012 LOS ANGELES—Space used to be a man's world. Then came Sally Ride, who blazed a cosmic trail for U.S. women into orbit. With a pitch perfect name out of a pop song refrain, she joined the select club of American space heroes the public knew by heart: Shepard, Glenn, Armstrong and Aldrin. Ride, the first American woman in orbit, died Monday at her home in the San Diego community of La Jolla at age 61. The cause was pancreatic cancer, an illness she had for 17 months, according to her company, Sally Ride Science. Ride rode into space on the space shuttle Challenger on June 18, 1983, when she was 32. Since then, 42 other American women flew in space. "Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model. She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars," President Barack Obama said in a statement. When shuttles started flying frequently with crews of six or seven, astronauts became plentiful and anonymous. Not Ride. "People around the world still recognize her name as the first American woman in space, and she took that title seriously even after departing NASA," Eileen Collins, the first female space shuttle commander, said in a statement. "She never sought media attention for herself, but rather focused on doing her normally outstanding job." When Ride first launched into space, feminist icons such as Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda were at Kennedy Space Center and many wore T-shirts alluding to the pop song with the refrain of the same name: "Ride, Sally Ride." NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, a former astronaut, said Ride "broke barriers with grace and professionalism -- and literally changed the face of America's space program." "The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers," he said in a statement. Ride was a physicist, writer of five science books for children and president of her own company, which motivates youngsters to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. She had also been a professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego. In 1978, NASA included women in the astronaut corps, selecting Ride and five other women to join the club, which had been dominated by male military test pilots. Ride beat out fellow astronaut candidates to be the first American female in space. Her first flight came two decades after the Soviets sent a woman into space. A second Soviet woman flew in space in 1982. "On launch day, there was so much excitement and so much happening around us in crew quarters, even on the way to the launch pad," Ride recalled in a NASA interview for the 25th anniversary of her flight in 2008. "I didn't really think about it that much at the time -- but I came to appreciate what an honor it was to be selected to be the first to get a chance to go into space."
