Nomadic Observer #3

Sometimes people write one thing and do another, they live out a great public life only to go home and live out a wrotten private one - in short they live in their branded shadows and they live effectively two lives.

That isn't the case with a guy called Guy Kawasaki.  You read his books - you think holy moly this guy knows his stuff, you see him in person and there are extra dimensions to the character, you look more deeply and you find a guy who is probably the sharpest mind on the net.

He was given a name "Guy" and in short he is a "Guy" by name and a "Guy" by nature - so I don't really need to be that nomadic to get a measure of him.   If there is a special secret to Guy Kawasaki then it is not hidden, it is there for all to see in the high energy contributions and the quick witted responses - and the charisma.

In the 21st Century observing an intellectual giant is simply not enough, if we don't get our cues to observing the full spectrum of a character, our future generations who will have lived their entire lives in the 21st Century certainly will.  If Guy Kawasaki leaves behind a legacy for the net generation to follow, they will surely be the first to pick up on it - because our kids will see through us all, in a way we cannot barely even begin to imagine today.

What does all of this mean?  Not much because I am writing all of this for my own purposes and as far as my purposes are concerned, it is not simply having merely having Guy Kawasaki on my online radar screen, his books such "The Art of the Start" etc etc, are adventures in common sense and entrepreneurial value.  Indeed look inside the jacket for this book and you won't find Guy Kawasaki but a project for its cover design.

This cover design request generated hundreds of incredible book cover designs that match anything the top professionals out in the market place can do, what makes Guy Kawasaki so interesting to me, is that I know, he instinctively knows that - his personal radar is honed into success and to those who have great talents - and all of this comes with the added sparkle of a constantly beaming Kawasaki smile...a tiger's picture that speaks and seeks beyond the "thousand words".
