Hi Robert, thanks for the words of wisdom and for your uncompromising honesty. The balance of work and life, plugging in to the family, and really listening when someone is talking to you are few a things I constantly work on.

Regarding good audio, I'd add a set of headphones to the list too. Not sure how it would work on your Nokia but someone will have the answer.

Best regards in the new year!

Whatever you learned, has a 30 second countdown.

Nice post. When you demonstrate a lot of self-awareness, honesty, contemplation, I am impressed with what I hear.I dont think Ive ever altered my opinion of someone by reading 1 post before, but I have now. If you can kepp your defenses down next time there is some controversy, and respond in this thoughtful a way, my criticisms that you dont actually engage in naked conversations will evaporate :)

Happy New Year! You're a great one-stop resource for keeping up with the industry, but as you imply in points 14, 26, 30, 31, and 39, it's always a good idea to think carefully before clicking "publish": http://markfreedman.com/ind...

"Everytime my ego tells me I’m important for some reason bad things happen in my life"

That is so true for me too. Great thoughts. Wish you a happy new year.

Awesome. I love #18 in particular. Modern society feels structured particularly well to destroy focus. And that includes Flickr and Facebook.

I like the idea of the pitch for a start up of a company. First it is a good idea for any new start up, but on a larger point of view, every employee should be able to know why they are working for, to get them motivated.

@25 Thanks, Robert. But don't let us know. Let you wife and kids tell you when you went too far. Sorry to say, but in 10 years no one will remember what you were doing. But your kids will remember how much Dad was around...or not...for their whole lives.

We'll Robert I begin a journey and will be using a Blog to mark my progress. Kinda crazy but we all have our inner battles, here is the one I'm going to go head to head against.

Number one is my favorite. I have a two-year-old and one on the way. I can't find enough hours in a day to do what I do and enjoy fatherhood as much as I should. They don't take a back seat to my job, which means there is a limit and very loose ceiling above me professionally, but I could still spend all day everyday playing with my kid and be pretty happy.

Here's hoping we find better balances in 2008!

Cheers Robert! As great as this post was, I have to say, it was just another post in context of all of the great posts you have cranked out, thanks for spreading all the great insights and info in such a positive way.

Plenty of good inspiration for 2008!

Thank you for sharing your reflections. The one thing I took away from your perspectives: Be thoughtful.

Have a wonderful 2008 Robert.

It takes a lot to realize what's important in life and sometimes it takes wake-up calls to realize what is important.

It was a great list and I enjoy reading your posts. Keep up the good work. Hope you and your family have a great New Year.

Hi Robert,
I'm on the way to be "BlogSocial" better on 2008, because, as some other people, you opened my eyes on the huge possibilities of social network, despite those "too trash widgets", which won't last ever, but amazing projects like Twitter, Seesmic, and so long...
So I will try to post regularly my opinions there and wherever on the web infinity...According to my specialities around TV broadcast and business.
Best for you and your familiy, and thx for your "work", even if I feel happyiest than ever ; congrats for child-born
Happy 2008, full of social buddles !

Robert, this is the best "2007 list" I've seen so far. You bring a degree of honesty to the business of self promotion that I admire and respect with a devotion I can't and don't apply to any other blog.

... one thing left off, your growing skills with a DSLR. Thanks for my new avatar image and best wishes for the new year.

-Brian
