Now it's offical: “Stay Hungry” has been chosen as the best career advice for lesson 7 of Daniel Pink's book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need (↑).

It was a land-slide victory for Becky Blanton. She says,

“I'm going to TED, but those whose stories are told on the blog at beckyblanton.com are going with me. In the coming months the blog will be redesigned in order to highlight and showcase those people who are both ‘Staying hungry’ AND ‘Saying Thanks’ as Ed Brenegar and I team up to spread OUR ideas.

In July I'll be blogging and vlogging about TED on that site as well.

My dream is that my win will bring more traffic, attention and help to ALL of you who are not only staying hungry and saying thanks, but are giving back and leaving an imprint in this world. With nearly 5,000 votes cast - the stories and efforts of many charities are getting out. Thank you […]”

Thanks to those of your who have supported my call for help. I know you are many. That brings me to the second part of this blog post.

I am excited!

A couple of days ago I wrote about Seth Godin's Triiibes Project in context to his upcoming book. Looks like my application got through… I found Seth's invitation in my inbox right now. Here it is.

• So I accepted (duh)
• found out that I already had signed on to Ning.com — they manage this technically.
  

  “When did I sign up for that? And Why?”
  Now, I have a good reason for being there.

• filled out my Triiibes profile and…

…wait till my profile gets approved.

Already feels good to know that not everybody can get in.

“Exclusivity is nice, isn't it.”

Just wanted to share this with you.

Nice weekend.
Yours
John

P.S.: In case you get interested in Seth Godin, I have added some books that you can check out.
