279 Days to Overnight Success
If you have any interest in building a presence on the internet this manifesto, 279 Days to Overnight Success, by Chris Guillebeau over at The Art of Non-Conformity - Unconventional Strategies for Life, Work, and Travel might be worth looking over.
Dave Pollard linked to this manifesto on his blog yesterday and I found it a good read. This guy's pretty sharp. And making an online living while traveling the world.

Fit In Better
We Americans hail from families of immigrants newly arrived, seeking approval from better-established immigrants deposited by the previous boat. Even the best adjusted of us have inherited a message of social inferiority from generations of moms telling generations of kids to fit in better, speak English better, display better manners, etc. I suggest that this heritage weighs on us more than we want to acknowledge at levels we don't want to address.
