It. Some make or break. Others take and losers fake.

I was reading some Peter Kim recently and he had a post about taxonomy of content that I really liked.

Instead of the classic Forrester ladder – he breaks it down into those who make it, break it, and take it (also fake it). I’m drawn to this model because deep inside I’m a simple man.  I like things that rhyme, it’s easy for me to visualize and perhaps the biggest reason is that it gives me an out.

Yep, an out.  His breakdown helps me to know that I don’t have to be awesome like he is (crazy but true).   Because I’m the guy that reads stuff like Peter’s (insert any other A list blogger) and am fully wow’d by the thought and ability to time and time again stand at the plate and make solid contact. Not always homeruns, but rarely striking out.  So he gives me hope.

His post is pithy, so I won’t quote it but check it out.
