Someone once wrote me asking, “What is it like to be ‘a person of influence’ ”?

I suppose there’s not much value in debating the inference in the question, but whether or not I am a person of influence, here’s my thinking:

My intent is not primarily to be a ‘person of influence.’ Rather, my intent is to regularly be searching for and sharing ideas that might be worth consideration.

I want the ideas to be considered more than I want people to consider me.

That is one of the reasons I remain anonymous.
