The full post is also available on my website. I came across this tweet today on a life philosophy to follow that really resonated with me. everything I do is the most important thing I do.... I will be ambitious with my job and not my career. The implication of this statement is that whatever you’re doing now is the most important thing for you, not some stepping stone for a future greatness.

is to give you a hard time about that 500-word limit idea =D I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but this is like day 2 and you totally overshot it! I figure it's a perfect example of the way you communicate that importance. It's keeping the main thing, the main thing, even if it means breaking the marketing suggestions a bit. Plus, at some point in the 100 days, you may hit that "trudging through quicksand" wall so it'll all balance out.
