#5The message in this piece isn't new, but needs to be listened to more often. Success is measured in terms of months or years, not minutes or hours.
One quick extension to the post:
Consistency doesn't come by building a cage in which you are forced to get something done. It is far better to consistently build positive motivation. There are dozens of ways to do that, but however you do it, motivation will win out over restraint every time.

Yep, I'm reading this.
The intent of the Tweet links is to remove the barrier to entry for people who want to quote pieces of the article. I've found that removing even a few seconds of work increases the chance that someone will think "hey, that's a cool quote to tweet."

I think what our neighborhood SOB is saying is that it comes across as extremely arrogant to think that a random blog post of yours has 20 tweetable quotations.
